    (57) A plurality of spray guns (104) are mounted on one end of a robot arm (10) and the other end of the arm is controlled in its orientation by appropriate mechanical apparatus. Air is fed from two supplies (36, 46) to each spray gun (104). One air supply (36) is at high pressure low volume and controls the paint supply to the spray gun. The second supply (46) of air is at high volume low pressure and it serves to atomize paint and control the pattern of the spray exiting from the spray gun (104).
