Steve
I think if you are going to do loads of srpaying of full suites then there worth while investing in.
I use a mini sealy compressor and have 3 different spray guns total  cost around £100 and will cover small and large jobs.

Steve, I have seen guys doing it with a little blow pipe type contraption. Its like a glass tube with a little bottle on the bottom. You put the colourant in the bottle and just blow through it. A fine spray comes out the end.

John,I think you are referring to an air brush.
You need a mini compressor for this.

No it wasn't an airbrush, definately a blow job :)

Seriously it was at a company called One Call in Bolton. They do a lot of furniture repairs for the insurance industry. They showed us how they did leather re-colouring with these little blow pipe contraptions.

Only thing is you have to keep a constant pressure, as you lose your puff at the end it starts to splatter (so they tell me)
