'''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 [[GTA 2]] (However, in GTA 2 there are [[Max Paynt]] garages and the two garage types' functions are almost the same). | '''Pay 'n' Spray''' is a [[Spray Shop|spray shop]]/[[Garages|garage]] in which [[vehicles]] can be mended, repainted, and have the engine replaced.

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 [[GTA Vice City]] and [[GTA Vice City Stories]], and the [[FBI Car]] in [[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!" | 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.
