    This year at the Wood working show at the Florida State Fair Grounds I saw a demo of the Apollo Sprayer. I had a chance to spray some paper with water and decided it was time for me to get into a sprayer. My use so far has been with a water based Polly snd as I gain more experience I become more attached to my sprayer. I told my wife the other day that I wouldnt take a full refund for that sprayer. It has definetly earned a permanent spot it my shop.

    I would like if this email could be forwarded to Jason, at the California location I believe, Myself, (Walt) and Chris (owner), of the Land of Make Believe, spend an extensive amount of time talking to Jason on the phone, asking questions and getting information on different models of spray guns for our application, he was very knowledgable, the information was very accurate, we had recently purchased 20,000 worth of new picnic tables for our amusement park, with 5 2x10x6' boards per table, with his help we were able to spray all these new tables, and approximatley 300 picnic table benches, saving alot of time and money than doing it either by brush or having outside painting contractors do them, the tables were down with a Sherwin Williams deckscape product and the benches were done with a solid color Cabots product, Thanks so much for the help, we look forward to doing business with you in the future

    This is to give you a better understanding about how we truly feel about your 1200 Apollo system.  For the past 7 years we have had problems in the production spraying of major end items, i.e.: radars, launchers and loaders used in the Hawk missile system, as well as small parts.  Paint adhesion test failure has also been a problem.  We even contracted a $300K paint system which we still haven't received, as it's tied up in red tape.  We received your Apollo 1200 units, My Program manager took one look and asked "where are Mickey Mouse and Goofy". To say he wasn't impressed is to say the least.   We then started using them. Within a month of receipt, today that same manager has only good things to say about your units, WHY? Here are the reasons.

    1. Small parts are being processed thru the finishing shop as fast as they are received. This is the first time in 7 years.

    2. Less than 1% of the finished products fail the adhesion test and this failure is due to extreme high temperature.

    3. Paint and coating material cost is down by 50%.

    4. Air filters in the paint booth now last for 6 months or longer.  We haven’t had to replace them since we started using the Apollo 1200, versus every 30 days when we changed them before.

    5. We no longer need the $300 K paint system. Mr. Maxey the AMCOM man here in Egypt is going to replace the Paint systems in all American supported facilities here with Apollo units.  Now that’s quite a big deal , as you beat out Graco. Air-vetter, Binks and the rest of the boys.

    Good luck. You have the best system on market for our money.

    My name is William Stokes, and as a hobbyist, I have been using a 1000 turbine with a 5225 gun that I bought in April of last year and marveling at its quality, versatility and consistent results. I have painted with what I considered to be a fine conventional spray gun for many years, and the differences are truly appreciable. I can paint an early Datsun Z-car with one quart of paint, instead of two and a half, and paint it well! I have shot primer and sealer and each goes on as beautifully as the finish coat-the quality of each prep layer makes finding any remaining body-work blemishes fast and easy. The shocking lack of overspray makes cleanup a breeze as well (when painting in a large borrowed warehouse or paint booth, what is left on the floor has to be taken with me-including the painting equipment-the Apollo system certainly is easier to move than a 30 gallon tank and a 6hp compressor). I have also noticed that the fumes are proportionally dissipated as well. To top it all off, there are no humidity issues popping up. I live in Coastal Georgia, and 90 percent ambient humidity is generally the low end of our scale. Every single paint job I have completed with my conventional equipment has been plagued by hints of humidity problems-hazing and vapor bubbles appearing in the paint-all within weeks. I have tried mechanical and chemical line dryers, dehumidifying the air intake at the compressor, even shooting at different times of the day. None of the paint I have applied with your system has had the first occurrence of any of these issues-even shooting a truck toolbox under a tarp tent in my back yard in June! I have a friend who is a professional paint and body man, and now he is hesitant to put his best work up against mine and he is painting in a filtered down-draft booth! I don't imagine he will wait too long to buy your system-he has seen the results, and he knows, as I do, my only advantage is in your equipment!

    Thank You for a great product,
    William Stokes
