spray painting

Misting on color

Spray painting is applying paint from a pressurized container or spray gun, producing an even coat without brush strokes.

The technique ranges from industrial applications to automotive work to street art.

Graffiti artists spray paint murals and tags on walls, trains, and bridges.

As a verb phrase: We spent the weekend spray painting the fence.
