<p>I bought an airbrush on ebay for 108.00 that included two brushes, and the air compressor. The system works nicely but I do have to purchase a new gun. the one that came with it i think is a cheap model. I doest soray luster dust very well and i came apart on me. but if you use the 40% off coupon from hobby lobby you can get a good gun for about 45 or 50 dollars. So guess where I am off to shop very soon!!</p>

<p>I also dont have an air brush, that's next on my wish list. I use the PME lustre spray. I take the cake outside on a tray table and on the turn table, I can spray and turn. I've learned from experience that alot of pearl particulas are in the air when I sprayed indoors, so lesson learned. I also use the pearl dust with a soft powder brush, that works too. You still get the dust, but its not as bad as the spray.</p>

<p>Hi Bettina,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I've never used an airbrush before but would like to try it as I've seen it done before and it looks very easy. I have used the aerosol sprays and yes they do spray alot of colour particles into the air :(</p>
<p>The only way around that is as Eileen S mentioned above to try and protect your work surface and other areas of the cake.</p>

I guess having worked with an airbrush a lot, I was appalled at how much flew off into the air. But I think the difference is that the luster sprays have a lot less moisture than the airbrush medium, therefore particles hit the cake or icing or whatever, some sticking and others being blown away again by the aerosol; as well as those rogue particles caught in the turbulence coming from nozzle.<br/>Hmmm maybe I need to get outside for a while, as I feel I am obsessing a bit.

Hi Bettina - I don't have an airbrush machine, so when I want that kind of look I typically use the Wilton aerosol color or Duff's new graffiti spray. Yes, you do get a lot of particulates in the air, and it will settle onto nearby objects. I try and make sure I'm working on a cleared surface and then use paper towels to protect parts of the cake I don't want sprayed as I'm spraying. I've never sprayed an entire cake, though, just small detail parts. I've noticed the color does wipe off…
