Has anyone heard of a new paint preparation system by gerson? Supposed to be about 30% cheaper than 3m, I’ve got their rep coming in next week, anyone know anything about this system?
here’s a link with some info on it:

Jimmo… one of my “rules” is to buy and use whatever everyone is comparing themselves to. THat is obviously the “gold standard”. I learned this back when everyone was making “Soundblaster Compatible” sound cards. After fighting with several issues, I found it best to just buy and use an actual Soundblaster sound card.
In this case, the success of the 3M pps system has everyone scrambling to come out with their own version. In their pitch, they spend a good deal of time explaining how their system compares to the 3M system.
That tells me the 3M system is highly regarded, even by their competitors.
I haven’t seen the Gerson system in person yet. I have, however, seen and used the DeVilbiss version. It’s pretty nice. Works well. No complaints. I like that their box is the dispenser, so you get a new one with each batch of liners, rather than having an old, ratting, broken one hanging on the wall and covered in masking tape.
I have also seen a detailed analysis done by a body shop (one that has many locations), in which they tracked *all* of their related expenses for a 6 month period, then, the following year, same 6 month period, used the 3M PPS system. I saw spreedsheats with actual numbers, and at the end of the day, the cost was not a factor. (i.e., the cost of the liners was covered by not buying as much thinner, as many rags, paying for more waste removal, etc.) – plus the time saving and efficiency was improved.
No. I will not give you exact details or share the name of the shops, because I was asked not to. Sorry. 😉
