Forgive me for asking a seemingly stupid question, but what is a rattle can? Is it the same as spray paint?

Thanks

Yup. Also called a spray bomb.

Hey, thanks. Read “rattle can” in another forum somewheres, which left me scraching my head.

Yep! The name comes the little ball in the can which rattles when you shake the can. Most of them have you shake the can for a couple miutes after the ball starts to “rattle”.
