Apollo vs Lexaire

somewhere on here there was a discussion about Apolo… can’t remember where I saw it though….

i have an Apollo.

I cannot say enough good things about it.
However my only comparison was with a Wagner sprayer and a “normal” spray gun.

Too big a difference to warrant a comparison.

-- No piece is cut too short. It was meant for a smaller project.

I have a Fuji Mini-Mite 3. This is a 3 stage turbine system with a non-bleeder style gun. You can get the Fuji 3x for $475 at Amazon. The Fuji Q3 Pro is also a 3 stage system but has some type of noise dampening system. It can be found at Amazon for $616. Fuji also has 4 stage versions of each, $560 for the regular and $740 for the Pro.

I can say nothing but good things about the Fuji. Last night I gave two of my sisters the Christmas gifts I made them this year. They both asked how I got such a smooth surface. My answer, lots of sanding and a spray finishing system.

I have had an Apollo 3 stage for about 8 years and love it. (yes Debbie, I think it was me answering a question a few days ago.) Without getting it down (storage in the winter) it is the yellow one. I think it is model 825. The one thing I did do that Apollo told me I didn’t have to is get an extra paint cup and lid. I spray laquer and the extra cup is for the thinner. I spray the thinner through the gun after every coat making clean up a breeze. The extra cup was only another $30.00 If I remember right.

Apollo makes a great product….don’t think twice about getting one.
