A controlled application of warm dry air is provided during and/or between applications of sprays in an automated spray system. Short multiple passes of the spray cloud over the human target are provided, each being followed by application of warmed dry air for a short drying cycle that is effectuated between the individual spray passes. When the system is implemented in a booth or enclosure, warmed dry air may be supplied into the environment so as to warm the ambient air temperature prior to spraying.
