Down to 2 systems - tanTALK

lovely5150 · 01-23-2007, 11:20 AM

Ok-so I am a newbie here. I am trying to start up a mobile service and eventually grow into a sunsless studio. I have been reading, and reading the posts. I have done a ton of research and now I am down to two systems.

I am thinking of purchasing the CalTan mobile or the Apollo T100. Any suggestions or comments!!

Any help would greatly be appreciated!!!!!!!!!!

I agree NEON in most cases, but the ONLY reason I think a "name" brand HVLP gun or etc is for the liability?(?) Company is selling the use of these machines for individual sunless application purposes. If you us a gun other than what the company is selling if for....Makes me nervous..
ex: Homewares company for spraying paint. ?
Right or wrong?

Home Depot? Why not? HVLP is HVLP. Someone we all know uses a Wagner with success.

I like the performance and the quietness of Apollo's Whisper

What do you mean?

Insurance Co. liability policy states: equipment must be cerified to use as specified. Must be used for spraying individual with approved solution and application thereforth to set to meet requirements for health specifications. Skin to skin application. No paint gun is acceptable, because it is not sold as spraying the body...(?)

Sounds like legal jargon...but I can see it now..(as you too)_- Client sprayed with HomeDepot "Paint" gun.. injury inflicted, because not specified for skin application.

Just food for thought..

Guess who wins???

At least if we have a "Name" brand sunless company, at least (we hope) when we purchased unit, we have some backing on demos for skin application..

I guess that would depend on insurance co. used. Still, units avail. from hvlp.com are for spray tanning and cheaper.
