Pay 'n' Spray is a chain of spray shops/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 levels.

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. Although the Pay 'n' Spray chain does not actually carry over to forth generation GTA games, its name is retained as a byline for Auto Cowboys in Northwood, Algonquin, and also incorporated into the name of Axel's Pay 'N' Spray in Alderney.
