Where is the “spray can” in Stick It to the Stickman?

The documented color-change route uses a building, not a spray-can pickup. In the city overworld, look toward the upper-left of the map, below the upper road, and pass through the car wash. Free Lives calls it a “car wash” in an official short video; community guides also call the same kind of location an auto repair or mechanic shop. The exact in-game building label remains unclear.

Use it for Color profiling

The Steam achievement Color profiling asks you to evade the police by changing your whole body’s color. Community instructions describe the practical order: reach the relevant overworld area, acquire a wanted star by drawing police attention, then go through the car wash to change color. The specific “upper-left, not on the upper road” direction comes from Steam player replies.

The official video says the car-wash section must be unlocked before you can use it. Neither the video nor the linked player directions establish the exact unlock requirement for that city section or whether a wanted star is required to enter the building itself. A wanted level matters to the achievement’s police-evasion objective, so do not confuse “can enter the wash” with “completed Color profiling.”

Why the name causes confusion

The achievement says your body is sprayed a different color, which can sound like a portable spray-can item. The official short shows a drive-through car-wash location instead. Neither the short nor the linked player directions identify a separate collectible spray can for this task. Use the car wash shown in the video.

Version note: The official short and the directional community posts are from August 2025. Their map position has not been independently confirmed in the 1.0 build.
