Can you spray wall paint on a wall?

ok so what im trying to do is make a mural on my wall, and the wall is a forest green, and my plan is to make the effect of like a splashed on dripping black paint in the background, then my main picture on the front. What I'm thinking would be a good idea is to pour already mixed black Behr Wall Paint into a spray bottle for like febreeze furniture freshener (already cleaned and such). not an aerosol spray but a single pump spray. i need some ideas or feedback desperately i want this to look amazingCan you spray wall paint on a wall?
You should propably paint in on using a brush to the design of the splash affect that you want. You wont get the effect from a spay bottle like that. Maybe one of those large pump up sprayers that's used for yard and garden may work but it could get really messy and out of control.Can you spray wall paint on a wall?
It all depends on what kind of paint you are using if it is a acrylic paint it can be thinned using water if it is a enamel then you will need to thin it using


a paint thinner like turpentine. Either way I agree with ( Mindwar ) when he says us a electric spray gun. A Fabreeze bottle just won't work ,because the nozzle is to small to allow paint to go through it.
it will only clog up the sprayer it is to thick to spray paint that is sprayed is thinned with a thinner such as paint thinner to about 75% of its original thickness maby more depending on the paint they make a wagner sprayer to spray household paint it is electric and will do what you want it to since it is adjustable and made for house hold paint
