Question 1

Has anyone use it as a Spray tan system?

Accepted Answer

I have. The turbine has similar specs (i.e. correct pressure and airflow) to some other HVLP spray tanning systems; however, for me the cup size was too large and spray pattern on the included nozzle made it difficult to not overspray. I purchased a wagner "spray tan cartridge attatchment" aka "Wagner Detail Front End Kit" (ASIN B00FDZDO32).  It works ok but the cup size is still fairly large and tended to overspray . I have since replaced that gun with a "Maxi-Mist Spray Tanning Gun Replacement Lightweight" ($35 on ebay) and am happy with the results even though I had to adapt the hose to fit.  Maxi-mist's MaxiMist Evolution TNT Spray Tanning System looks like the wagner painted all black and I wonder if the front end gun ($50) is compatible.  I don't use this professionally but can say its works, especially with a purpose made gun.  I got best results with the pressure set just above minimum.

Question 2

can this be used for oil base paints?

Accepted Answer

Yes.  Cleaning oil-based primer took forever to clean because you must use mineral spirits and be sure to get every bit of it off the interior parts. Cleaning latex-based primer and paint out of the sprayer with soapy water was much easier but still time-consuming, especially since I tried to get every bit of primer/paint off the outside of the sprayer and pump in case I want to sell it if we ever finish the kitchen-painting project. I am an almost elderly homemaker, amateur painter, and I was able to use it successfully.

Question 3

Do I need an air compressor for this? Or is this a stand alone tool?

Accepted Answer

The base unit has a blower or low-pressure compressor built in, no external compressor required.  Make sure the base is sitting where it will pull in clean air, no dust or debris.

Question 4

Does this sprayer work on ceilings?

Accepted Answer

It'll work. I wouldn't though. It has a 3-4 inch spray pattern which requires several passes for an adequate coat. Would take several hours for a 10x10 ceiling. Rollering will be 5x faster.
