Do they make adapter kits for guns that didn't originally come with the system?
I've read some about these and it would be really nice not to have to clean the cup. I have an Apollo eco4 with the e7000 gun. The machine does everything I ask of it and I'm a one-man shop so don't really see a reason to upgrade but I'd love to retrofit. Thanks for reading, guys.
Edit: I have a bottom-feed cup if that makes any difference.

Yes. 3M customer service can give you the exact part number for the adapter depending on the details of your system.

That's really wonderful news. Thank you, Roger!

For top fed guns, they make many adapters. They are fed by gravity.
Edited to add: I was mistaken about implying that feed was only by gravity. With the standard rig, you can spray with the gun in any position, but I'm not sure how long you can spray with a top fed gun upside down. I'll try it and see the next time I use one. I don't own a pressure fed spray gun.

Your Apollo is a turbine unit I would think. If so, it has a pressurized cup. You absolutely can add a PPS cup to it, the H/O cup has a pressure hose port specifically made for pressure feed guns.
You are going to love the quick clean up, and also being able to see how much finish is still in the cup.

I figured there would be youtube videos on it:

I saw that video - thanks for the link, I knew the system was available for the e7700 but didn't know if it was compatible with all guns. Thanks again, all.
