How can I paint my metal water bottle?

Question

I have this plain blue metal water bottle, and I think it's too boring.
So I wanted to splater paint it, but which kind of paint would stay on?

Answer 1

you need to sand the bottle with water proof sand paper ranging from 400 to 50. its hard work but the idea is to give the metal a ridged surface rather than its smooth surface so that the paint can sink in and stick.

Answer 2

There is a paint made for crafts that works on metal and I believe is non toxic. here is a link. The problem is that it might not last long.



I would think that Testors paint would work better (the one used car models), but I believe that one is toxic and you may not want to use it.



In any case, maybe you can ask the person in the craft store.
