PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an assembly for manufacturing an accurate mixture of liquid components so as to supply the liquid mixture to an injection part of a spray. SOLUTION: The assembly contains a rigid polymer material-made vessel comprising a side wall having a frustconical inner surface, and a bottom wall defining an opening to a cavity of the vessel at the bottom end of the side wall opposing to the upper end of the side wall. A flexible liner positioned in the cavity of the vessel has an outer surface having a shape corresponding to the inner surface of the vessel. The inner surface defines a cavity in the liner, and an annular margin along the upper end of the side wall defines an opening to the cavity in the liner. A display sheet composed of an elastically flexible polymer material is placed between the side wall of the vessel and the flexible liner, has a shape corresponding to the inner surface of the vessel, and has a mark for indicating that a plurality of various component liquids can be orderly injected in the cavity in the flexible liner to achieve a predetermined ratio among the liquids.
