Usually apply is used with to. Thus, you apply a coat of paint to a wall.

The only way I can think of to use apply with onis when on is not really related to apply. For example: I applied a coat of paint on Tuesday.

The verb "apply" is typically used with the preposition "to" when indicating the target of an action or when referring to a person or entity that is asking for something (e.g. "apply to a university," "apply to a job"). However, you can use "apply on" when talking about applying a substance or product onto a surface (e.g. "apply sunscreen on your skin").
