Spray painting is painting using a device that sprays the paint.

There are several different technologies for doing this.

1. Canned spray paint: The most common type in the consumer market is an aerosol can of spray paint.
2. Semi-professional spraypainting: there are a variety of hand-held paint sprayers that either combine the paint with air, or convert the paint to tiny droplets and accelerate these out a nozzle. Commercial examples of this include the popular product the Wagner PowerPainter(tm).
3. Professional spraypainting: Automobile body shops use air compressors and specialized equipment to spray paint onto a car body. This can be expensive, with a high-quality car paint job costing from $2000 to $5000. The high cost is due to the high quality paints, the laborious nature of surface preparations, and the cost of the equipment to do this task. Anest Iwata is a popular brand of spray gun among these painters. This can be done using rotational bells (always electrostatic) or pneumatic guns (electrostatic or not)

One of the applications is graffiti. Spray-painting has also been used in Fine Art, as in the art of Jean-Michel Basquiat.
