Learn how to set up your SunFx Mobile Spray Tan Package with the Pro Mini V2 and Norvell XL Pop-Up Tent. Follow these steps for a smooth, professional mobile tanning session.
Quick answer
Set up your SunFx Mobile Spray Tan Package in under 15 minutes by assembling the Norvell XL Pop-Up Tent, preparing the Pro Mini V2 sprayer, and positioning the overspray fan for clean, professional results.
Why the right setup matters for mobile spray tanning
A well-organized setup saves time and reduces cleanup, especially when you're working in a client's home or a rented space. The SunFx Mobile Spray Tan Package includes everything you need to get started, but knowing how to assemble each piece efficiently makes the difference between a smooth session and a stressful one.
The Norvell XL Pop-Up Tent provides a dedicated spray area that protects floors and furniture, while the Pro Mini V2 delivers a consistent, professional-grade mist. Taking a few extra minutes to set up correctly also helps you avoid common issues like uneven tan lines or overspray on nearby surfaces.
Step-by-step setup instructions
- Assemble the Norvell XL Pop-Up Tent: Remove the tent from its travel bag and unfold it on a flat, clean surface. Pull the frame outward until all sides lock into place. Secure the heavy-duty vinyl flooring to protect the surface underneath. Position the tent so the rear opening faces a window or exterior door if possible. Check that all frame joints click fully; a partially locked frame can collapse mid-session.
- Position the overspray reduction fan: Place the fan at the rear opening of the tent, facing outward. This setup pulls overspray particles away from the client and out of the tent, keeping the air inside cleaner and reducing residue on the tent walls. Make sure the fan is on a stable surface and the cord does not create a tripping hazard.
- Prepare the Pro Mini V2 sprayer: Fill the solution cup with your preferred spray tan formula, then attach the cup to the sprayer. Connect the air hose from the sprayer to the compressor. Turn on the compressor and adjust the pressure to the manufacturer's recommended setting (typically 10–15 PSI for most tanning solutions). Always test-spray on a paper towel first to confirm the mist pattern and pressure are even before applying to skin.
- Set up the client area inside the tent: Place a small stool or chair inside the tent for the client to sit on during the initial application. Ensure the clear windows are unobstructed so you can see the coverage. Have barrier cream, disposable gloves, and a hand mirror ready within reach. Avoid placing the stool directly under the tent's center seam; this prevents the fabric from sagging onto the client.
- Perform a final walkthrough before spraying: Double-check that the tent is fully open and stable, the fan is running, the sprayer is at the correct pressure, and all supplies are accessible. Confirm with the client that they understand the process and have removed any jewelry or clothing that could interfere with the tan. A quick checklist prevents forgotten steps that could lead to uneven coverage or a messy cleanup.
