What Glen D. Huey, Senior Editor, Popular Woodworking Magazine, says about The AtomiZer:
“An investment in a new tool can increase your woodworking abilities; an investment in HVLP will do the same. If you spray your finish, you know already what I’m talking about. If you haven’t ventured into spray finishing, it’s time. Great results are so much easier to achieve that you’ll never look back.
Apollo Sprayers International Inc. makes the investment easy with the 7500 Series AtomiZer spray gun. The standout feature of this gun is that it’s used with either a turbine – any turbine, from any manufacturer – as a standard HVLP system or as a conversion gun when you attach compressed air. And your compressor size is not an issue. All that’s required is a minimum 3-horsepower, 20-gallon tank. With either method you have a superb performing spray gun.
The AtomiZer is a multi-use, multi-purpose spray gun that allows the user to choose from three different methods of operation. Use the gun as a gravity-feed unit (cup above the handle), in a standard arrangement (cup under the handle) as we did, or as a production gun feeding fluid directly from the source.
Another feature of the 7500 Series AtomiZer is that you adjust the fan of the spray pattern by dialing a ring located just behind the nozzle. Adjusting the fan spray makes finishing small objects or working in tight areas easier.
Included with the AtomiZer is an all purpose 1mm tip and needle. While other tips are available, I used that setup for spraying thinned lacquer, thinned shellac and water-base aniline dyes and my results were better than expected. This covers most woodworking project finishes.
Worried about cleaning the gun? Don’t be. There are no “O†rings in this gun; clean up is as easy as a thorough rinsing then wiping of the basic parts. And the coated interior of the cup eliminates aluminum-related finish issues, especially with shellac.”

The AtomiZer™, the newest Apollo spray gun, keeps getting raves. First we got raves from our users. Then the AtomiZer™ won the prestigious Sequoia Award for the most “innovative†new product of the entire show in the general category at the Association of Woodworking and Furniture Suppliers Las Vegas Show.
And now the AtomiZerâ„¢ has been named one of Popular Woodworking’s “Best New Tools of 2007.â€
The editors noted the workmanship, controls and the exceptionally small amount of overspray that make the AtomiZerâ„¢ the best HVLP gun they’ve seen in a long time.
“Apollo has always made excellent spray equipment that has performed well in our tests. But the company’s new 7500 line of premium HVLP guns is head and shoulders better than the guns we’ve tested and used for the last 11 years.
We’ve been testing the A7500QT AtomiZer Quick-Release Cup Gun with an HVLP turbine and have been impressed not only with the workmanship and controls, but with the astonishingly small amount of overspray generated by the gun. We’re still testing the A7500, but there’s little doubt this is the best HVLP gun we’ve seen in a long time.”
All of us at Apollo work hard to live up to our reputation as “The Innovators†of HVLP technology. We are proud to see our expert engineering developed over 40 years, recognized by Popular Woodworking.
