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 used a paint pad as recommended. It seemed to work well without streaking.

You need to check with your local refuse hauler. Paint is considered a hazardous material.

Hi Since you are not worried about the finish, you may try Goo Be Gone. It can be purchased almost anywhere. It may not even do any damage to the surface either.

If it's dry I used a paint scrapper for excess, small amounts in the brick I was not able to remove. It its still wet or tacky I used a warm rag with dish soap.

I would use a cup of sudsy ammonia in a bucket of warm water. Ammonia will dissolve the finish.

Jason I would try the best I could to keep it off rubber and plastic parts. If you accidentally get some of this solvent on any rubber or plastic parts simply wipe it off.

I'm going to guess that the paint was more than a little oxidized when you used the pre-cleaner, and now you have a gooey concoction/mess of dried, oxided paint and remnants of the cleaner. You CAN use "clay" as a clean-up tool, but it's going to be a protracted process. My recommendation is to purchase a gallon can (only qty. available) of either Dupont Prep-Sol or Acryli-Clean DX330. These are automotive paint shop grade degreasers. They will remove all traces of the mess you have, and you can use them for all degreasing/wax/road tar-removal tasks. Both work equally well, so I suggest you purchase by PRICE and AVAILABILITY. Typically, you will need to visit an automotive paint retail outlet/shop. It's worth the effort. You can expect prices to be in the $30-$40/gallon range. Wear nitrile or vinyl (not latex) gloves or your fingers/hands will be de-greased, as well! Good luck.

It is a black powder coat paint and made for outdoor use. I would expect that to be the case.

If you want anything to properly adhere you're going to want to scuff, prime, sand, and topcoat. It's a gloss finish paint will eventually flake off with rock chips or carwashes.

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

I used acrylic paint and clear coat and it worked well, but make sure you wash it with degreaser and use a primer for best results

I had the same frustration this year on my 2 year old AGP. This seemed to help quit a bit. First, purchase 1 quart of high quality exterior latex enamel paint (Behr). Air up the ring to about 80%. Clean the top half of the ring with a Dial liquid soap and water solution. Let dry. Air up ring again to about 90%, and quickly paint the top half of the air ring (above water line). I didn't even tape it off. Let paint dry about 2 hours and paint it again. Stay out of pool for 24 hours to allow paint to dry/cure. This should help you make it through the rest of the year. I only have to add air about every two days now (because I can't find the last pinhole). I figured I would get two years out of this AGP before it crapped out, I got 3 months to go! If I buy another AGP, the first thing I will do is paint the top half of the air ring at setup. GOOD LUCK.

Make sure you have a good ground! You can't put it on a painted surface! Hope this helps.

I would clean the rust first by using a wire brush or sandpaper then wipe the surface. Then apply Plasti-Kote. Let it dry as it turns black. Then you can paint over it. Sand prior to painting if desired.

I find that painting over laminant is a bit tricky, a good spray paint that will adhere to plastic seems to work the best, cleaning the surface and lightly sanding with a very, very fine grit sandpaper helps, but even still sliding heavy objects across the freshly painted surface may leave scratches. Good luck.

Well we have a brush that scrapes off all the burnt pieces. So scraping of the black paint was never a problem. But if you don't have a brush then i would recommend getting one or washing it by hand every time you use it! Hope that helped!!
