What does "hairy with spraypaint"?
Hi, 
Is this sentence read as this way?
Day says, falling in behind a city bus hairy with spraypaint.  => Day says, following a bus holding spraypaint.

""Do the phone bill," Day says, falling in behind a city bus hairy with spraypaint. The bus's fumes are sweet. "

Answer

No, I don't think so. I think it means "Day started following a city bus. The bus was covered in spraypaint."
I think the 'hairy' reference means either the spraypaint was so thick that it had a hairy texture, or (more likely) that the graffiti patterns made the bus look like it was covered in hair.
