spray cans

Graffiti artist's tools

Spray cans are pressurized containers that release their contents as a fine mist or stream when a valve is pressed.

They hold everything from paint to insecticide to whipped cream.

The mechanism works by compressed gas forcing liquid through a nozzle: The graffiti artist's bag was full of spray cans.

Also called aerosol cans.
