Some of the deficiencies of the competitive equipment (loud, heavy, non-durable, expensive, etc.) MIGHT be forgivable if those machines produced a better-looking, more realistic tan. Unfortunately, for all their drawbacks, you ultimately end up with a machine that makes your customers look WORSE. In fact, MUCH worse.
The genius of the Fantasy Tan equipment is that it has not abandoned its airbrush origins—it still uses compressed air to propel the solution out of the application gun and onto your customer. Compressed air is far superior to turbine-based equipment (based on vacuum cleaner motor technology) because it delivers a much FASTER airstream, and thereby allows for much greater precision and control of the solution being applied.
Think of it this way: A vacuum motor simply does not create enough energy to push air through a hose fast enough to create a “pinpoint” thin stream of powerful air. That’s why the other brands use a huge hose—approximately the thickness of a garden hose—and a massive, imprecise spray gun that looks more adapted to painting a car. Our hose is thinner than your pinky and our mini spray gun is a svelte and elegant as an artists’ tool. Because it IS an artist’s tool.
Simply put, the imprecision of the vacuum motor turbine causes a TON of overspray, which causes you problems in at least THREE major ways:
Costs Too Much
More of your solution ends up on the walls and floor, which means you spend more money on solution that you should.
Mess To Clean Up
When more solution ends on the walls and floor, you’ve got a huge mess to deal with.
Horrible-Looking Tan
The reason the solution is ending up on the wall and floor is because it’s not spraying in a tight, precise pattern. This makes for an awful looking tan.
Let’s dwell on that last point for just a minute—how does your customer LOOK after a tan? Can you tan right up to the hair line and fingernails? You can with Fantasy Tan. Can you make knees and elbows look as natural as a real tan? What about working around blemishes, moles, scars, and other skin problems. No problem with fantasy tan. In short, your customers will look FANTASTIC. With the vacuum motor-based “power painter?” Not so much.
