spraypainters
Mural makers, aerosol
Spraypainters are people who apply paint using a sprayer rather than a brush or roller—either professionals using equipment for vehicles, furniture, or buildings, or graffiti artists working with aerosol cans.
The spraypainters finished the car in under an hour.
City crews painted over what the spraypainters had tagged overnight.
