-Max Paint (or Max Paynt as seen in the game) is the GTA 2 equivalent of Pay n Spray in all the other games. This is a clear reference to Max Payne the movie which was released two years after GTA 2. The only one major difference about the shop is that the police can see you go into the shop and if you successfully change the color of your vehicle, the police will stop chasing you immediately with no prohibitionary period. Public service vehicles and gang cars cannot be resprayed although buses are exempted from this rule (not the [[Karma Bus]]). Also taxi's can't be resprayed they but can have the plates changed.

+'''Garages in [[Grand Theft Auto 2]]''' refer to a chain of garages that can be found in portions of every district in [[Anywhere City]]. The garages are a significant improvement from the basic [[Spray Shop|spray shop]] [[Grand Theft Auto 1|prior]], being intended to provide repairs to the player's car, clear [[Wanted Level in GTA 2|wanted levels]], or outfit the car with [[Weapons in GTA 2#Upgrades|weaponry]], all for a fee.
+Much like in games before and after GTA 2, the player is required to drive in and out of a garage to use a service; like GTA 1, however, the player can simply use the garages like a drive-thru business, entering from the front and exiting at the back.
+== Services ==
+There are a total of five different services available at the garage, one of which is only available in the [[Residential District]] and the [[Industrial District]].

+|-
+|align="center"|Smith and Heston's
+|align="center"|$25,000
+|Outfits the player's car with [[vehicle machine gun]]s.
+The name of the garage is an obvious reference to [[wp:Smith & Wesson|Smith & Wesson]], a real-life gun maker, and also [[wp:Charlton Heston|Charlton Heston]], an actor who, at the time of GTA 2's release (1999), was the president of the [[wp:National Rifle Association|National Rifle Association]] (from 1998 to 2003).
+|-
+|align="center"|Gold Mines
+|align="center"|$50,000
+|Outfits the player's car with 10 [[vehicle mine]]s that can be dropped behind the car. The service is only available in the [[Residential District|Residential]] and [[Industrial District]]s.
+|-
+|align="center"|Max Paynt
+|align="center"|$5,000
+|Repairs the player's car while clearing the player's [[Wanted Level in GTA 2|wanted levels]], effectively the game's rendition of the [[Spray Shop|spray shop]].
+Depending on the location of the garage, the player can emerge with different car colors; garages close to or within a certain gang's territory will naturally recolor the player's car in the gang's color; other garages use more conventional ranges of colors. If the player enters a garage with a corresponding car color (i.e. driving a green car into a Max Paynt close to [[Loonies]] turf), the car emerges with the same color, while the player is simply notified that the car's license plate has been changed.
+Like in all games, government/law enforcement vehicles (and gang cars) cannot be resprayed, although [[bus]]es are exempt from this rule. [[Taxi]]s are not resprayed, instead, they have the plates changed.
+Coincidentally, the "Max Paynt" name is similar to that of [[wp:Max Payne|Max Payne]], which, as of the release of GTA 2 (1999), was still under development by [[wp:Remedy Entertainment|Remedy Entertainment]]; Max Payne was not released until 2001.
+|-
+|align="center"|Hell Oil
+|align="center"|$10,000
+|Outfits the player's car with 10 rounds of [[Vehicle Oil Slick|oil slicks]] that can be dumped behind the car. The name is an obvious parody of [[wikipedia:Shell Oil|Shell Oil]].
+|-
+|align="center"|Red Army Surplus
+|align="center"|$5,000
+|Arms the player's car with [[Car Bomb|a time-delayed bomb]] which can be activated while pressing the "fire" command in the car.
