Does anyone know the ratio of dust to vodka to use with the sprayer ? I've only done it once a couple of years ago, and I've forgotten what I did.... it sure turned out nice though..... That time I used Super Pearl, this time I want to use NuSilver..... will it be shiney ?
Grama I use the ratio 3:1 .. part luster/3 parts vodka also I usually add a touch of pearl to the mix also...
Remember also that if you want shiny silver you need to apply coats...apply coat and let it dry...then apply again till you have the shiny effect you want... but wait inbetween sprayings or you will have a mess 
I hope this helps some!!! 
You can buy them in most hardware stores, and they're not expensive. I think the highest price I have seen for the kit (cartridge and jar) is $5, and the lowest I've seen is $3.
But I have to warn you, the Preval sprayer is one of those touchy subjects here at times, because it is not considered food-safe.

I forgot to mention, you can also buy the empty jars and refill cartridges separately.

The Preval is a canned air sprayer. It isn't foodsafe because the can materials and the propellants are not of a grade/quality acceptable for use safely on food. The company does not recommend it for use on items that will be eaten or come in contact with other edibles.
Although the propellant ingredients "look just like those used in PAM & the Wilton Color Sprays", the fact is, those product cans and the propellants used in them are certified for use with/on food. In order to be certified for use on food items, those things have to have a higher degree of purity & safety than those used in "industrial" applications.
You can now buy sprayable luster/pearl dusts from several companies, including Lucks & PME.

Hi Joyce....... It is just a tiny tank of "air".... about the size of the spray colors that Wilton has.... The difference is that there is a "tube" attachment at the bottom of the can that fits onto a glass bottle (included)..... You put your "paint", or in our case, the vodka and Luster dust into the bottle and screw the air can onto it, and you are good to go.... We are talking anywhere from 3.99 to around 7.00.. AND.... it WORKS !!
Wow...I'm just learning about this....this is great! I'm gonna run out to my local hardware shop and picking one up...it's worth a try...at least until I have enough money to buy an airbrush machine. I've been having to buy PME Sprays...and while they're nice, they are very costly. This should help...thanks for the tip. I know I can always count on the CC community to provide good tips/ideas!!!!
