___ paint (graffiti artist's canful) (5)

I believe the answer is:

spray

(Other definitions for spray that I've seen before include "Aerosol efflux" , "Atomiser or nebuliser" , "Finely sprinkle" , "Disperse in tiny drops" , "Single shoot with leaves and flowers - sprinkle it" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
