spraypaint
Graffiti artist's medium
Spraypaint is paint packaged in a pressurized can that releases a fine mist when you press the nozzle, allowing for quick, even coverage without brushes.
It's used for everything from car touch-ups and furniture refinishing to graffiti art.
As a verb, to spraypaint something is to apply paint this way: Someone spraypainted obscenities on the overpass.
The term is sometimes written as two words: spray paint.
