Ive had many discussions with regard to the differences of both systems w/ body shop repair men. The reason why body shops use hvlp?! It paints better, less over-spray, paints the surface smother faster and more accurately, and takes less time and paint to do so.
The origins of the units used in spray tanning have originated from professional painting technicians and automobile repair shops... these units were used first to paint cars and to paint interior and exterior of houses etc.....
When it comes to deciding on a system you must think about the following things:
Cost/Budget $$$$
Quality Coverage of Spray Tan on clients
Time Needed to Complete Tans
Maintenance of hardware
Solution overspray waste $$$
Space and Sound Requirements
Airbrush Units:
There is more 'bounce back' of the solution to targeted surface. The solution that you are spraying, the stream has more wide open and it takes 1. longer 2. more solution to penetrate the targeted surface. When it does reach that targeted surface (ie the clients skin) some of it actually doesnt settle right on, but actually bounces off (overspray)
HVLP Units have a minimal amount of 'bounce back' of the solution to the targeted surface. HVLP is 'high volume low pressure' The solution that you are spraying, the stream that it has is more centered and concentrated and it 1. hits the targeted surface faster 2. takes less solution to penetrate the targeted surface (ie the clients skin) much of the solution that hits the skin actually stays and does not bounce back. The reason for this is because of the difference in air pressure and flow.
If your budget is under $250.00 (US Dollars) than I would suggest that you wait and save your money until you can afford a professional level machine. Do not get scammed and buy a cheaper model because you 'need' or 'want' it now.... If you want to be at the top of this industry and produce professional gorgeous level tans then your equipment must coincide with this.... the solutions you will use professional grade and thicker than most non pro stuff will need to be sprayed out od a system that is able to produce higher psi settings that you wont be able to get with a cheaper low level machine...
The machines that are offered for under that amount can not and will not be able to produce the psi power that you will need to produce professional level tans in a salon environment (mobile or static site)...
do your research and search the forums for posts about what people think are the best systems in the uk
As some of the posters on this site and others know, I tend to tell it like it is .... so if you have any questions.. dont hesitate to pm me... ill be more than happy to help
good luck...
