NYC women should use spray paint for self-defense: influencer

Women may soon be painting the town red — literally.

A social media influencer is urging New York City women to carry spray paint instead of pepper spray to defend themselves from attackers, amid a string of unprovoked attacks and assaults on women.

Monique “Moe” Black, a 29-year-old fashion influencer Detroit native who regularly travels to the Big Apple for gigs, said a can of spray paint is more reliable and easier to get — and marks the perp so that cops know exactly who the bad guy is.

“I prefer spray enamel, to be honest, because that sh-t is never coming off,” Black told The Post.

She said she knew she needed some type of protection when she started traveling to the city for work.

Black puts a can in her tote bag, under her shoulder where it is easy to grab.

The idea came from her stepdad, a retired homicide detective for the Detroit Police Department.

“He was like, ‘You know, if you spray somebody in the face and then whack them over the head with it, you’re probably going to have enough time to run away,’” Black said.

And there is less chance it will blow back in the user’s face like pepper spray.
