Pay 'n' Spray is a garage in which vehicles can be mended, repainted, and have the engine replaced. It serves two main functions - to repair a vehicle, and to allow the player to lose a wanted level. Pay 'n' Spray locations have been featured in all GTA III Era games, as well as in GTA IV.
Vehicle Repair
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, 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!" 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). Also, bicycles are not allowed in Pay 'n' Spray, prompting the message, "I don't do toys!"
Wanted Level Reduction
Pay 'n' Spray allows the player to rapidly lose any wanted level. 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 out of sight of the police.
Cost
In all games, respraying an undamaged or lightly damaged vehicle is often free of charge, while respraying a significantly damaged vehicle costs money. Additionally, when the player is taught how to use pay n' sprays in early missions, the first visit is free.
- GTA III: $1,000
- GTA Vice City: $100
- GTA Vice City Stories: $100 (if Civil Asset Forfeiture Impound has been completed, the Pay 'n' Spray is free.)
- GTA San Andreas: $100 (dating Michelle Cannes grants the player free use of her Pay 'n' Spray).
- GTA IV: $100
Colors
The paintshop has a wide range of colors available, but the player may not choose which color the vehicle is re-sprayed with. 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 IV, the color is determined by the player's "favorite car color", as shown in the game stats. In GTA San Andreas, any customizations performed at Wheel Arch Angels or TransFender locations are removed and replaced with "normal" color schemes.
