CalTan's Custom Bronzer 4000 states it does both HVLP and LVLP. I currently have the system and it works great. We just added it in our business. So we where pretty much at the point you are a few months back. We did our research and just found to many compliants about spray booths not doing the best job. Missed spots or uneveness was almost always the top problem. When you think about it people come in all sizes and shapes along with other needs that a spray booth just can't compensate for. Spray tanning with an HVLP gun will beat out a spray booth any day of the week. Spray booths are for high volume salons that can deal with a non returning customer. Many business's aren't willing to do that. Many clients that have used spray booths and then try a hands on approach will never go back to the spray booth. Plus being hands on you can really communicate with your clientle and have great rapport with them which will bring them back again and again.

Lots of choice in equipment out there. I would say go with the CalTan or Apollo TC-3. Seems to be the two top systems out there for salon use. If you can by used I say go for it cause these systems are pretty much bullet proof for the most part.

A big selling point going with a HVLP or LVLP system over a spray booth is $$$ invested. A spray booth is very expensive to start with but in the long run is cheaper to operate if you got the volume to support it. With a HVLP system start up cost are inexpensive and operating is a little higher but lots of advantages with it though.
