How to spray all 100 tags in GTA San Andreas and what you get for it

The tags are not marked or numbered on the in-game map, so you will need the table below or the GTA San Andreas map.

• The roof behind Johnson House. Climb the wall between Sweet's and CJ's houses onto the garage, then onto the Pawn Shop roof. The can is there from the start of the game, with about 500 units of paint.
• CJ's bedroom upstairs. After Tagging Up Turf, about 1,000 units; it respawns after you save or leave the house.
• Other spots. According to GTA Wiki, spray cans also lie in Las Colinas (behind a house in the middle of the district) and at Sobell Rail Yards in Las Venturas.

All 100 tags take roughly 2,500–3,000 units of paint (25–30 per tag), so about three full cans from the bedroom.

Aim the spray can at a rival tag and hold fire. One tag takes roughly 25–30 units of paint: GTA Wiki says 29, PowerPyx says 25.

Sources differ slightly on when exactly a tag counts. According to GTA Wiki, the on-screen message and the sound are enough. Gamer Guides warns that the message can come too early, and then the tag goes into your stats but not into the percentage. So keep spraying until it is fully covered and the green Grove Street Families tag shows through.

According to GTA Wiki, spraying can get you a wanted level.

The tags belong to seven gangs. Counts are from GTA Wiki; gta-sanandreas.com credits one tag to the Aztecas instead of the Vagos (24 and 12).

More about the factions on the GTA San Andreas gangs page.

The numbers on the maps match the tables below (GTA Wiki numbering). The dots are placed by in-game coordinates, so the distances between them are true to the game. To keep the numbers readable, Los Santos is split into two maps: the west with downtown, and the east.

Numbering follows GTA Wiki (gta.fandom.com). Other guides only share the same numbers for No. 1–6. Where a spot sits on a district border, both districts are listed. Gang names in the "Whose tag" column are shortened: Front Yard, Kilo Tray, Rollin' Heights and Temple Drive are all Ballas.

• Weapons at home. A Tec-9, AK-47, Sawn-Off Shotgun and Molotov cocktails appear in the Johnson House kitchen. They reappear after you leave the house, so it is free ammo.
• Better weapons for the gang. Grove Street members that CJ recruits carry a knife, Desert Eagle and SMG instead of the 9mm and Tec-9.

There is no Combat Shotgun in the reward: every source names the sawn-off. For the rest of the arsenal, see the GTA San Andreas weapons page.

There are no documented changes to tags between versions: guides for the 2021 Definitive Edition list the same 100 spots and the same reward, and there is no data on changes in the 2013 mobile version either.

The remaster has no separate achievement for tags; they count toward the overall percentage for the 100% Remastered achievement (see GTA San Andreas achievements).

1. Go district by district. The table runs block by block: East Beach (No. 8–14), Jefferson (No. 59–66), El Corona (No. 42–46) — each can be cleared in one trip.
2. Be ready to climb. According to PowerPyx, a few tags can only be reached over a fence or from a car roof, and a fat CJ cannot climb a high wall.

An overview of all four sets is in the collectibles section, and everything else you need for full completion is on the GTA San Andreas 100% page.
