How can I stop the black paint from flaking off into the environment?

Slide the bottle in an old sock. If that doesn't work for ya, get over it! It's not lead paint!

Next time order a non-coated canteen I guess? Nothing you can do about the paint chipping off.

I would suggest lightly sanding the black with 150- 220 grit paper so new paint will grip well. If you can prime with something other than Latex, be better off on metal, perhaps rustoleum. I f you can get the paint in oil , would be best, but unlikely. Use gloss at any rate as harder finish I believe. The last option...Move ! Kidding Mark

You could take a damp cloth and rub on it, but we have noticed that the paint chips off relatively easily. I wouldn't recommend using an abrasive material.

I think you would want to rough the glass up like you would sheet metal to get the paint to stay. And primer might help

I use a painter's drop cloth from the hardware store. It's not cheap, but it lasts forever, doesn't get slimy, and you can even use vinegar or bleach if it mildews.

I would try something like painters tape as this probably won't pull off the paint. If paint isn't a problem then any other type of masking tape should work

use plastic that will not scratch your paint and heat up the glue somehow, hairdryer maybe, and slowly pry off.

I have a thin black line on the paint above my door. I've also seen it dent certain frames if they are particularly flimsy.

Soak in acetone (or similar polish remover) for a minute or so. Rinse with water or wipe with a wet wipe and allow for them to air dry. Do it in a glass dish or similar (I use a shot glass) because acetone can ruin plastics. Also be careful not to fill acetone past the metal part because it will ruin the white paint on the brushes (found out the hard way)

I haven't prevented the rust. Perhaps spraying it with some clear sealer would work.

Hot glue or super glue. You could also replace with rip-stop nylon and paint your own design on. I've seen that.

You must use some form of lubricant or the clay will stick to the paint. Washing, drying, lubing and claying is a pain and takes a long time. I use a microfiber wash mit and ample, quality soap then once I soap up the paint with the mitt, I then clay the soapy area. It works great, does the trick and eliminates a step. Try it.

Theres no way to prevent it. What i meant in my comment was that the color its fading away. pd i do write a lot

I'm compulsive, so I would probably at least sand the edges of the paint. When I used the product, I followed the directions on the can faithfully, and so far the stuff seems amazing. It turned the rust black and I could not tell that rust had been there before.

Use a scraper to remove the paint/varnish/stain. You may need to do another coat. The stuff does work but give it time to do it's thing. The remaining Soygel is removed with water.
