Named after the relentless energy of city transit systems that never stop, Metro Blast captures that same unstoppable momentum.

Whether you’re working on a quick production piece between trains or spending a full day on a legal wall, Metro Blast’s endurance and output make it the ultimate urban companion.
Key Features of Metro Blast Aerosol Paint
- High-Coverage Formula: Metro Blast is formulated for maximum surface coverage per can, making it ideal for filling large areas quickly and efficiently.
- All-Surface Adhesion: From polished metal subway cars to rough concrete walls, Metro Blast sticks to virtually any surface with strong, lasting adhesion.
- Temperature-Stable Valve: The valve system is calibrated to maintain consistent pressure from -5°C to 40°C, so performance doesn’t drop in cold mornings or hot afternoons.
- 500ml Standard Size: More paint per can than standard 400ml competitors without the bulk of oversized cans. The perfect balance of capacity and portability.
- Layering Speed: Fast recoat time of just 8 minutes means you can build up multiple colors in a single session without waiting around.
- Consistent Spray Pattern: The engineered nozzle produces a reliable, predictable oval spray pattern that experienced writers can work with intuitively.
Who Is Metro Blast Aerosol Paint For?
Metro Blast is built for the productive graffiti artist – someone who paints frequently, moves quickly, and prioritizes getting work on walls over gear obsession. It’s the everyday can for writers who need a reliable supply of quality paint at a price that makes buying in bulk practical. Muralists who cover large surface areas in fills will particularly value Metro Blast’s coverage efficiency and consistent output.
Beginners also find Metro Blast to be an excellent starting point because its consistent spray pattern is forgiving to learn on, and the price point makes it easy to buy multiple cans for practice without financial strain. The all-surface adhesion is also a plus for students experimenting on different materials in workshop environments.
Color Range and Finish
Metro Blast’s color range draws inspiration from the urban environment, featuring 50 colors that mirror the concrete, steel, and signage of the modern city alongside vibrant accent colors that pop against urban backgrounds:
- Platform Grey – a versatile mid-tone grey for backgrounds and shadows
- Signal Red – a bold, safety-sign red with high visibility
- Tunnel Black – the deepest flat black for maximum contrast
- Metro Blue – a classic cobalt blue for lettering and fills
- Overpass Orange – a warm, construction-cone orange
Semi-gloss is the standard finish across the range, ideal for outdoor durability. Flat matte options are available for artists who prefer a non-reflective urban look.
How to Use Metro Blast Aerosol Paint
- Shake: Two minutes of vigorous shaking prepares the formula for optimal output. The mixing ball should move freely before you begin.
- Prime if needed: On very porous or rough surfaces, a light primer coat improves coverage efficiency. On clean concrete or metal, prime is optional.
- Work in sections: For large fills, break the area into manageable sections and work wet-to-wet for seamless coverage without visible seams.
- Speed control: Move faster for lighter coverage, slower for denser color. Metro Blast rewards confident, deliberate arm movements.
- Recoat timing: Wait 8 minutes between coats for tack-free surfaces. Full curing takes 24 hours but the paint is workable much sooner.
- Clear nozzle: Always invert and spray clear after use to prevent valve blockage.
Tips and Techniques for Metro Blast
- High-speed fills: For quick, large fills, use a jumbo fat cap and work in overlapping horizontal passes. Metro Blast’s high coverage formula means you cover ground fast.
- Background clouds: Hold the can 40–50cm from the surface and use light, circular passes to create soft atmospheric backgrounds.
- Color transitions: Metro Blast blends smoothly with other professional aerosol brands. Use it for base colors and bring in specialty brands for accents.
- Weather windows: The temperature-stable valve is your friend in unpredictable weather. Start your session without worrying about morning cold affecting performance.
