'''Pay 'n' Spray''' is a chain of [[Spray Shop|spray shops]]/[[Garages|garage]] that originally debuted in [[Grand Theft Auto III]] and has recurred in several subsequent GTA games. Much like other spray shops in the series, Pay 'n' Sprays serve three main functions - to repair a vehicle, to change the paint color, and subsequently allow the player to lose [[Wanted Level|wanted levels]].


'''Pay 'n' Spray''' is a [[Spray Shop|spray shop]]/[[Garages|garage]] in which [[vehicles]] can be mended, repainted, and have the engine replaced. It serves three main functions - to repair a vehicle, to change the paint color, and subsequently allow the player to lose [[Wanted Level|wanted levels]]. The Pay 'n' Spray has been featured in all [[Grand Theft Auto]] games except [[Grand Theft Auto 2|GTA 2]] (However, in GTA 2 there are [[Max Paynt]] garages and the two garage types' functions are almost the same).
Although the Pay 'n' Spray chain does not actually carry over to [[GTA IV Era|forth generation GTA games]], tooltips and briefs in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars]] still refer to a spray shop as "Pay 'n' Spray"; the name has also been retained in GTA IV as a byline for [[Auto Cowboys]] in [[Northwood]], [[Algonquin]], and incorporated into the name of [[Axel's Pay 'N' Spray]] in [[Alderney]].


==Vehicle Repair==
Pay 'n' Spray is not to confused with [[Spray'n'go]], a similarly functional spray shop in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City]]. [[Mod Garages]] in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]] ([[Transfender]], [[Loco Low Co.]], and [[Wheel Arch Angels]]), which expand on the concept of spray shops, also exists as separate entities.
Driving a damaged vehicle into a Pay 'n' Spray will repair any body damage the vehicle has incurred, and will result in a re-spray of a different color, with a few exceptions. However, [[:Category:Emergency Vehicles|emergency vehicles]] cannot be driven into a Pay 'n' Spray, as the player receives some variation of the message, "WHOA! I don't touch anything THAT hot!" or "No way man! I don't touch those!” The only exceptions are the [[VCPD Cheetah]] in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City|GTA Vice City]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories|GTA Vice City Stories]], and the [[FBI Car]] in [[Grand Theft Auto III|GTA III]], which is re-sprayed from black (pursuit version) to gray (road block version). In addition, [[bicycles]] weren’t allowed in Pay 'n' Spray, prompting the message, "I don't do toys!"


==Wanted Level Reduction==
This article refers to Pay 'n' Spray as an actual chain of spray shops between GTA III and GTA Vice City Stories. For further details on any spray shop in GTA IV and later that are known to as "Pay 'n' Spray", and on the gameplay mechanics of Pay 'n' Sprays, refer to the [[Spray Shop]] article.
Pay 'n' Spray allows the player to rapidly lose any wanted level, from 6 stars to no stars. Visiting a Pay 'n' Spray after incurring a wanted level results in a gradual reduction in police attention.  During this probationary time period (where wanted stars flash), if any crimes are committed in view of a police officer, the full wanted level will be immediately reinstated. In GTA IV, the player can only enter a Pay n' Spray when they are [[Wanted Level in GTA IV|out of sight of the police]].


==Cost==
== Locations ==
In all games, respraying an undamaged or lightly damaged vehicle is often free of charge, while respraying significantly damaged vehicle costs money. Additionally, when the player is taught how to use Pay 'n' Spray in introductory missions, the visit would be free of cost. Since GTA III, respraying a repaired vehicle or a near-healthy vehicle will not cost the player any money to respray the vehicle.

==Colors==
=== GTA Vice City and GTA Vice City Stories ===
The paint shop has a wide range of colors available, but the player may not choose which color the vehicle is been re-sprayed. In certain cases, particularly with special vehicles, the color will not change, but the police will no longer recognize the vehicle as if it had. In GTA San Andreas, custom paint jobs received from [[Mod Garages|mod garages]] will not be removed. In GTA IV, the color is been determined by the player's "favorite car color", as shown in the game stats.

Right after the vehicle is repaired, the player can receive a re-spray free in [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City|GTA Vice City]], [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories|GTA Liberty City Stories]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories|GTA Vice City Stories]]. If the player drives the repaired car out and back into Pay n Spray, the car receives a re-spray, and the message shows up, "Respray is complimentary" or "Hope you like the new color."

==Time==
== Trivia ==
From the [[GTA III Era]] games, the respray and subsequent repair of a vehicle is near instant. However, from the [[GTA IV era]] games, it will advance time by three hours.
* Pay 'n' Spray was established in the United States in 1974.
* To restore the disabled [[Royal Casino]], [[Las Venturas]] Pay 'N' Spray in the [[Personal Computer|PC]] version of [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas|GTA San Andreas]], go to ''data\maps\vegas'' folder, open ''vegasE.ide'' file with Notepad, found the ''8957, vgsEspdr01, vgsegarage, 150, 128'' line and replace ''128'' with ''2176''. Note that its use can lead to problems with sound; make sure you have a back up for the original file.
* The entrance of the Pay 'n' Spray in [[Idlewood]], [[Los Santos in GTA III Era|Los Santos]] is located just in front of a ramp that leads into Los Santos's storm drain. Often if the player drives too fast and jumps on the ramp, the car will go straight into the shop.
* When using the [[Northwood]] Pay 'n' Spray, exit with caution as AI vehicles will often pull into the adjacent driveway and park as you're backing out, leading the risk of a collision.
