spraypainting
Misting on pigment
Spraypainting is applying paint from a pressurized canister, producing a fine mist that covers surfaces evenly.
The technique serves legitimate purposes—automotive finishing, furniture refinishing, art—but the word often implies unauthorized marking of public surfaces: Kids were caught spraypainting the underpass.
Graffiti artists spraypaint murals; vandals spraypaint tags.
