The Economy Series
The economy series of kits is designed to introduce you to airbrush tanning on a budget. In general, these kits are not recommended for a commercial setting, but instead are
configured for personal or portable use.
|
|
The Economy kit is only recommended for personal or light duty use. If you want an introductory business tanning system, we highly recommend
the Portable Pro Kit shown below. You should be able to recover the cost of the system with the first quart of solution. So, the added cost is very reasonable.

Based on the TurboAir AC-27 Airbrush Compressor.

The Salon Series
The salon series of kits is based around Iwata compressors and air brushes - "the Mercedes"
of air brush equipment. Despite the premium brand, you'll find these Tanning Store kits are more competitive or
cheaper than offerings from competing sites selling less reputable goods. These kits are configured based
on the more demanding needs of the salon setting. Therefore, each compressor in this series is a piston compressor with ultraquiet operation.

Featuring the revolutionary TurboAir Pistol Grip airbrush. Nearly twice the speed of a normal airbrush with no loss in quality. Application speed rivals
that of hvlp systems but with the low noise and flexibility of an airbrush system!

High Performance Spray Tanning Systems
|
|
You may have heard of HVLP (High Volume Low Pressure) systems that are finding their way into the airbrush tanning market. Their stated advantage is
reduced time to apply tanning solution to the client. Reduced application time means faster turnaround and the ability to handle more clients in your busy season. The Tanning Store
provides two solutions for high volume client salons.
First, there are airbrush alternatives to HVLP -- using a high volume pistol grip airbrush. The TurboAir Turbo Speed Airbrush is nearly twice as fast as the
average tanning airbrush. The Paasche Quick Application Spray Gun and the premium Eclipse G6 from Iwata can match the HVLP advantage in reduced application time
while maintaining a quiet operating environment. Basically, they spray a 3-5 inch pattern versus a typical 2 inch or less airbrush pattern. This results in
reduced application time. And you have the flexibility of still using an airbrush for fine touch-up issues or for other cosmetic applications such as make-up, nails, and temporary tatoos.

HVLP Spray Tanning Systems
|
|
In addition to the high performance airbrush series, The Tanning Store also also offers HVLP spray tanning systems. Briefly, hvlp systems come in two classes - turbine systems and hvlp conversion systems.
HVLP turbine systems are driven by turbine motors (essentially vacuum cleaner type motors) rather than compressors. HVLP conversion systems have historically required larger compressors and have not been used in spray tanning.
However, recent advances in gun design have enabled the development of hvlp spray guns that require as little as 1.8 CFM (cubic feet per minute) and compressors in the 3/4 horse power range.
A high volume of air is used to atomize the spray at a very low pressure, usually well under 10 PSI, resulting in less overspray and bounceback. Excellent atomization and a wide spray pattern
reduces application time without sacrificing quality. First generation HVLP tanning systems tend to be quite loud however, similar to a shop vacuum cleaner. They also were overpowered for the application, employing too many turbine stages or using too large a needle/nozzle.
However, the AccuSpray HVLP turbine unit aand the Fuji Ultra Quiet HVLP Tan Salon shown below are quiet and employ needle/nozzles more appropriate to spray tanning.
The UltraMyst 3G, derives from HVLP conversion technology, and has many advantages for spray tanning. In fact
it lies in the LVLP subset of HVLP that has the softest spray and the least overspray and material usage. The UltraMyst is this week's featured system! See the top of this page.
