Anyone Ever Used Color Mist On Candy Clay?

I dont have access to an airbrush and thought about using Wilton's color mist to stencil on flames to the front of a semi-truck cake. they will be red and blue. do you think this will be faster than hand painting it on? the cab of the truck will be made out of RKT's and candy clay preferred.
thanks for your opinions!
no one likes this stuff enough to promote it huh? or just not on candy clay? Maybe I'll put gumpaste panels on the front.
Hi, I've used the Wilton Color Spray on Fondant flowers. It is sort of weird using it. From my experience with fondant, I had to spray 1 coat at time or the color mottles or look grayish in spots. It gets every where, so cover or spray so that it doesn't get all over your counter. I don't have an airbrush yet, so for certain effects, yes I do use them. Practice, first before turning it on your project. HTH

thanks for the responses I appreciate it! I've already bought the stuff so I'll see how it goes on something other than the cake and figure it out. thanks again!
I do remember a mess using them, I remember a lot of over spray everywhere, and I remember having to do many coats to get the color I expected from it.
No airbrush either.
Oh hey I thought of something else! if you could work a little PS and CS into your candy clay it would help give something for the color to grab onto and absorb into. I saw a chef recipe for white candy clay and she had added about 1 TBSP(flat not heaped) to it for extra body and mold-ability in hotter environments. The chocolate and the corn syrup really don't have any body that would grab a water based product on the surface but I think by adding a little of both it just might work for what you are thinking. HTH!
I'll be working on it today, I havent made any candy clay yet so we'll see how it works out. thanks for the help!
