Montana BLUE

400ml Water-Based Paint

GENERAL INFORMATION:

High-covering, quick-drying water-based spray paint:

Developed primarily for classic Graffiti, Street Art, and Studio work, the Montana BLUE combines precise handling with reliable performance similar to the proven Montana GOLD and BLACK series. Its low-odor, water-based formula delivers strong adhesion and smooth application on a wide range of surfaces including concrete, metal, wood, cardboard, plastic, glass, styrofoam and canvas.

Extremely low odor and excellent coverage:


The highly pigmented formula ensures outstanding coverage and long-lasting results. Its extremely low odor makes it ideal for indoor use and a preferred choice for graffiti writers working in enclosed or shared environments. Fast drying and quick paintability enable efficient workflows and a rapid layering.

82 water-based matte colors – very strong adhesion:


Montana BLUE offers a versatile matte color range combined with very strong adhesion for increased durability across multiple surfaces. As a medium pressure can, it provides consistent output and balanced control from start to finish. Once fully dried (approx. 48h), the lacquer is weather-resistant, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. The paint can also be applied with a brush for additional versatility. Durability can be further increased by sealing the surface with Montana Varnish after full drying.

The Montana BLUE 400ml is equipped with the Grey/Blue Soft Cap.

Optimized Formulation:

The Montana BLUE uses a water/alcohol-based formulation with reduced aromatic solvent content compared to conventional solvent-based spray paints. In addition, the binder contains 56% bio-based carbon content.

Drying Times & Compatibility:

Montana BLUE is touch dry after approx. 30 minutes and fully cured after 48–72 hours (depending on conditions). Overpainting between layers is possible after 2–4 minutes. For compatibility with synthetic, acrylic, or other water-based paints, allow full curing before overpainting. Drying times may vary depending on temperature, humidity, layer thickness, and cap used. Make sure to always do the first spray on a test surface.

Recommended Working Temperature:Performs best at temperatures between 15–30°C with surface temperatures of 10–30°C and humidity below 60%; once cured, the paint film is heat-resistant up to 80°C.

  • Montana cans are manufactured using tinplate and optimized material thickness where technically feasible. The use of a 1-inch cap instead of a traditional donut ring helps improve transport protection and can reduce transport damage during shipping. Completely empty cans can be recycled where local recycling systems and disposal requirements allow.

Storage & Shelf Life:

  • Shelf life: up to 5 years

  • Store in a dry environment between 10–25°C

  • Avoid extreme temperatures and humidity
