Helen,

    If you are decided on painting the 'pearls', why bother spraying?
    I'm sure that when I visited the Majorca Pearl factory, they just
    dipped the glass beads in a vat of 'paint' - here is a link to a
    description

    they are considered to be one of the best kinds of 'fake' pearls.
    Maybe you should visit the factory as a bit of background research -
    its nice and warm at this time of year....!!! ;-) 

Best wishes,
Ian
