I don't know how it would work, but it has been done with "perfume-type"
spray bottles (the kind where you apply pressure by pressing down on a
plunger). It has also been done with paint sprayers (using nitrogen instead
of air for the air-pressure type). I've never done it, but to get the
effect you would need a very coarse spray. Be very careful, in any case,
and use some type of hood as the residual spray would dry to a powder that
could mess up almost anything in the work area, as well as being nasty to
your respiratory system!

If you do it, I'd appreciate your letting us know of how it works.
