How would I go about making a spray paint tool

I’m trying to create a spray paint tool which allows users to spray their clan logo wherever they wish. However, I’m not sure how I would go about making the actual spray paint part’s orientation match the orientation of the hit part so there’s a part to put the decal on. I tried using the CFrame’s orientation, but it resulted in weird angles. Using the hit part’s orientation doesn’t really help either.

Client script:

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Mouse = Player:GetMouse()

script.Parent.Activated:Connect(function()
	if Mouse.Target then
		if Mouse.Target:IsA("BasePart") then
			if not Mouse.Target.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
				game.ReplicatedStorage.Remotes.PlaySound:FireServer(script.Parent.Handle.Spray)
				local Part = Instance.new("Part")
				Part.CFrame = Mouse.Hit
				Part.Anchored = true
				Part.Material = Enum.Material.SmoothPlastic
				Part.CanCollide = false
				Part.Size = Vector3.new(4, 0.05, 4)
				Part.Orientation = Mouse.Target.Orientation
				Part.Parent = workspace
			end
		end
	end
end)

NOTE: I’m aware that I should do the part creation on the server - at the moment I’m just testing.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. :grinning:

This post should give you some insight: Making a part face an object on only one axis in three dimensional space?
