Nov. 19, 2015—Two of 3M’s products were named 2016 Global Media Award Winners at this year’s SEMA Show: the 3M Accuspray Spray Gun System with PPS and 3M PPS Color Match Film.

In addition, the 3M Accuspray Spray Gun System with PPS was recognized as a runner-up in the Packaging Design category of the New Products Showcase Awards.

The voting panel of the Global Media Award program reviewed nearly 2,000 new products. Each journalist selected 10 products that would be of the most interest to their publication.

The 3M Accuspray Spray Gun System with PPGs earned two Global Media Awards with recognitions from both Young Jun Yu of Car & Tech in South Korea, and Henry Pierini of AutoZulia International in Venezuela.

The new system lets customers use one gun for all stages of their project, from start to finish including mixing/measuring, filtering and spraying of primer, sealer, base and clearcoat.

The 3M PPS Color Match Film was also recognized by Young Jun Yu of Car & Tech, earning it a Global Media Award.

The Color Match Film uses a proprietary film technology to bring flexibility, freedom and accuracy to the color matching process. Users can apply the film directly to the surface and view it at any angle. The film conforms to curves, allowing for a more accurate representation.
