Question - spray painting......

[Paula in Texas]

What is the name of the of the spray painting devise that can be purchased at Home Depot for about $6.00? I've heard it mentioned on this site and on CC but I can not, for the life of me, remember what it's called!!!! I so wanted to spray my Mardi-Gras cake with luster dust. PLEASE CAN SOME ONE HELP ME REMEMBER????

I think it's preval??? I went there looking for one, and they looked at me like I had 3 heads. They'd never heard of such a thing! Maybe I have the wrong name? So, I guess I'd like to know too!!

Amanda I think you are right. I have never used this either but I want to try some time. There is a post somewhere with the hanging item in the store with the stock numbers. I just don't remember what post it was or who posted it!

If you go to page 7 of the forums in lobby there is a post by Mona she purchased the preval spary guns.

Preval Spray Gun - Home

Preval Sprayer - BLICK art materials

I am pretty sure this is what they are talking about. I have heard that Lowes or Home Depot carries them in the paint section.

I looked and looked for this when I was doing my potato chip cake to no avail!! At least I know now I was searching for the right thing! I'll have to see if I can find one on line I guess. Thanks Jeri!!

THANKS!!!! That's exactly what I was talking about! When I mentioned it to a couple of Supervisors here at the plant where I work, they looked at me like I was crazy!!!!

I bought the Preval spray can at Home Depot and it was in the paint section. When I asked a sales person at the front of the store they just looked at me. I used mine for the hamburger cake. I didn't have airbrush colors and used paste colors with water added. I just ordered some airbrush colors and should have them by Monday. I paid $3.95 for my sprayers and then I ended up buying just the refills of air. I think you will find that it's easy to use.

My hubby now uses them on some of his work stuff<contractor painting> after seeing me buy it and use it on cakes!!!!!
How funny is that? He is the master painter by profession but I showed him the preval stuff and how to use it!!!!
Cake toys rule!!!!!

I found mine in the painting section also near the stains for wood. The first guy I asked was helpful but had no idea what I was talking about. He walked me over to the paint section and we described it to the guy there and hew knew what I was talking about. I still haven't used it yet.
