The Premise of Spray Paint Simulator

In Spray Paint Simulator, we are building our own spray-painting business from the ground up. We start our business in Spatterville, where we’ll restore, repair, mask, and spray paint everything – from kitchens and local landmarks to a giant robot. 

Gameplay

Spray Paint Simulator is a simulation game that is very similar to the Power Wash Simulator. We have two game modes – career and free spray mode. 

In career mode, we get jobs from customers, such as painting a kitchen, a car, a bridge, and so on. We have a starting budget and earn money from completing jobs. We can also get a loan. When starting a job, the first step is masking – covering everything with paper and tape and then spray painting each surface. We have access to a supply shop, and we can obtain more masking supplies, paint, and painting tools at any time. As we progress in the game, we unlock more tools, including improved spray paint tools with increased paint capacity, more exhaustive coverage, and larger batteries. We can also purchase a variety of step ladders and scaffolding. 

When taking on a painting job, each segment to be painted and each element of the job are listed in the job details. That’s very helpful when trying to finish. Also, the right mouse button will highlight in white all the missed spots that still need painting. It also highlights elements that need to be removed and/ or repaired. That being said, the game doesn’t require a completely 100% painted element to be noted as complete – if you have some missed spots, it will still be marked as complete. Free Spray Mode allows you to repaint already completed jobs in any color you choose. 

We can also buy a radio in the shop, and while the music is nice enough, for me, the best way to enjoy it is to play it while listening to podcasts. It’s almost meditative to restore a worn-out bus to its former glory by repairing it and painting it, all while avoiding the heavy smell of paint or the claustrophobic feeling of wearing a mask. One thing I didn’t like is that some of the jobs feel too big – for example, we have to restore and repaint a bridge. There is no option to pick and choose or skip jobs. Unlocking a new job means completing the current one. 

Graphic-wise, Spray Paint Simulator is a visual delight. Painting is done smoothly, with vibrant colors. The controls and interaction with different elements are snappy and intuitive. The world feels somewhat lived in despite not encountering any NPCs. While working, our clients will send us brief messages with local tips and tidbits of information. The bridge job is outside – we can hear the sounds of nature around us and even see the contrails of a plane in the sky. 

Some Other Things

Spray Paint Simulator features a comprehensive in-game menu, which includes the store, details of our current job, completed jobs, our customers, and our business. Those are accessible at any point in the game. Additionally, the game will provide instructions on the necessary materials and paint colors, as well as when to refill the tool with more paint or change the battery. Also helpful is the visual cue on the screen, which buttons on the keyboard or gamepad we need to use at any point. 

The game has extensive graphics and audio settings, as well as remappable controls. We can also customize the look of our avatar, including painting their uniform in the free spray mode. 

One feature I was very curious about but haven’t had a chance to try yet is the co-op mode. It allows you to paint a job with a friend. I suppose that will expedite the bridge job. 

Spray Paint Simulator has a demo on Steam, and the progress you make in the demo will carry onto the full game. 

Conclusion

I played the demo of Spray Paint Simulator a few months back, and the game has been on my wishlist ever since. I am happy to report that it was worth the wait, and I can only hope that the developers will release many DLCs for this game. If you enjoy meditative painting and washing games, you’ll love Spray Paint Simulator as well!
