APEX COATINGS LLC Brings Vibrant Life to Breyer Horse Collectibles with Specialized Protective Coatings

Murray, UT – October 26, 2023 – APEX COATINGS LLC, a leading provider of custom coating solutions, is quietly becoming the go-to partner for serious Breyer Horse collectors. While many know APEX for their work in industrial and commercial coatings, a dedicated team within the company has honed expertise in preserving and enhancing these beloved collectible models. Located at 5226 S Commerce Dr Ste 2, Murray, UT, 84107-8216, and reachable at 315-683-0213, APEX is offering a unique service that’s gaining traction in the passionate world of Breyer collecting. For those unfamiliar, Breyer Horses aren’t just toys. They’re detailed, hand-painted models cherished by collectors of all ages. Many models are limited edition, represent specific breeds, or commemorate important events. This means a model can be worth anywhere from a few dollars to thousands, depending on its rarity, condition, and historical significance. And keeping these valuable pieces pristine is a major concern for collectors. “We started seeing requests from collectors who were worried about chipping, fading, and general wear and tear on their models,” explains a spokesperson for APEX COATINGS LLC. “Traditional display and handling inevitably lead to issues. Collectors were looking for a way to protect their investment without altering the original artistry or the feel of the model.” That’s where APEX stepped in. The company isn’t offering a “one size fits all” solution. Instead, they’re working directly with collectors to develop custom coating strategies tailored to the specific needs of each model. What’s the Problem with Protecting Breyer Horses? Protecting a Breyer Horse isn't as simple as slapping on a layer of clear coat. Standard coatings can: Alter the Finish: Many coatings can make a model look “plastic-y” or change the subtle texture the artist intended. Yellow Over Time: Some clear coats degrade and yellow, detracting from the horse’s color and value. Be Too Thick: A thick coating obscures the detail, negating the very thing collectors cherish. Not Be Durable Enough: A flimsy coating will chip and peel quickly, defeating the purpose. React with the Paint: Certain paints used on older Breyer models can react with some coatings, causing discoloration or damage. APEX COATINGS LLC: A Different Approach APEX’s team understood these challenges and set about developing a suite of specialized coatings and application techniques. They’re leveraging their years of experience in industrial coatings – materials designed to withstand harsh conditions – but adapting them for the delicate world of collectibles. “We’re not just spraying on a protective layer,” explains the spokesperson. “We’re analyzing the paint composition, the age of the model, and the collector’s display habits. Then we formulate a coating that’s perfectly suited to the specific situation.” Here’s a breakdown of the coatings and services APEX is offering: Ultra-Thin Protective Coatings: APEX utilizes advanced spray technologies to apply incredibly thin layers of protective coating. These coatings provide excellent resistance to chipping, scratching, and fading without significantly altering the model’s appearance or feel. “You should barely be able to tell it’s there,” says the spokesperson. UV Resistant Coatings: Exposure to sunlight is a major cause of fading and discoloration. APEX offers coatings with enhanced UV protection to keep models vibrant for years to come. Matte and Satin Finishes: Collectors often prefer a specific finish. APEX can apply coatings in various levels of sheen, from ultra-matte to satin, to match the original look of the model. Repair and Restoration: APEX can also repair minor chips and scratches on Breyer Horses before applying a protective coating. This helps restore the model to its original condition and prevents further damage. Custom Formulation: For particularly rare or valuable models, APEX can develop a completely custom coating formulation tailored to the specific needs of the collector. Disassembly & Reassembly: APEX offers careful disassembly of multi-part models (tack, base, etc.) for complete and even coating, then expertly reassembles them. Who is Using APEX’s Services?
