I looked for a metal primer, but didn't find it right away in the craft store I was in, but I found some spray paint that supposedly was good for metal without priming. It was on sale pretty cheap, so I figured I'd give it a try. I got some smeared glue on the bottom of the tin and I didn't really want to bother decorating it since it looked fine just being white and I was able to scratch off the glue and gunk without the spray paint coming off there. <BR/><BR/>Incidently, I've finished two more tins now using the same stuff, and one of them didn't have that problem at all. I think it was an Altoid's tin and the other two that had the problem were Myntz! tins, so maybe it's just the slight differences in the way the tins are made that make them rub the corners more.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your feedback!!darling72http://www.blogger.com/profile/08191388965994654405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7423185825147544642.post-7738941041118436472007-12-19T15:31:00.000-08:002007-12-19T15:31:00.000-08:00I used several light coats of a metal spray primer and didn't have any issues with the paint coming off. Maybe it had something to do with the fact that is was metal primer. did you just use regular spray paint? I don't think that adheres as well unless you sanded the tin first. That is my two cents. It still is adorable.infarrantly creativehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08171261930610493567noreply@blogger.com
