If you don't have an airbrush, try coloring your fondant a light grey and then brush it with a few layers of silver luster dust. I don't have an airbrush and this works just fine for me 
Bashini, i have found that when i paint on luster dust with alcohol that while the color is richer, on large sufaces it looks streaky. thats why i like to brush it on, I feel it has a more even color. is there a way you recommend to paint it on with out the streaks? I'd love to know! because I do love the richer color of painting it.
My local cake shop sells a silver metallic luster dust that although it is more expensive than regular luster dust gives a strong silver color with out even coloring the fondant underneath. If you like I will look and tell you the specific name of the product.

HTH!
oooh, that is some nice luster dust! and btw, cute cake!
I just did a wedding cake that was gold and silver. I used NuSilver, mixed it with alcohol, and brushed it on. I also bought the silver for airbrush the airbrush machine, and painted it on in several coats. Worked fine. I also used the gold airbrush and painted it on, and it worked well too.

You might have to do few coats. Do the first one, leave it to dry completely and then do the next one. But I like Confectioner's glaze more than the alcohol. When I mix the glaze and the lustre dust, the consistancy is a bit thicker than the mixture you get from alcohol. I very rarely use two coats when I use glaze.

Your oclor looks great, I would love to know the name of the product you used. This may be a silly question, but I haven't ever used silver before... Does it change the taste at all?
No it did not change the taste at all. Unfortunately, all it says on the bottle is: #C410 Non-Toxic Silver Dust and the place I bought it is a local cake shop so I can't tell you where to buy it. I will try to remember to ask next time I go and post the brand name, but in the mean time here is a picture of the bottle.
BTW, the bottle says it is for highlight use only but the lady at the shop said that she called the company and they said that was ok to cover a cake with it.
Also the product costs $8.99 and although its says to use vodka you can dry brush it on too.
HTH!
