How do I use food coloring paste with an airbrush to spray onto fondant?

Help, I am up against a deadline.

TIA

I used the color paste with some warm to hot water it breaks it down to a liquid form and it will allow you to spray it on the cake. I shook the container with the water and paste it works well for me.
when u get a chance see my hawaiian cake it was done with air brush and paste.

This won't be very helpful, sorry, but you really should only use airbrush colors in your airbrush. They're specially formulated so as not to clog the needle or ruin the airbrush.

Gel and paste colors are very different formulas and even thinned can reek havoc on airbrush components. If you go that route in an emergency, be sure to clean the brush extremely well when finished--don't let it sit at all after using it.
