Painting lids of baby food jars

I buy my spices from a local produce stand and they come in thin breakable plastic containers, so I have been putting the spices into empty baby food jars, i would like to make them look nice, so is there a way to paint the lids and still let me wash them or to just paint them? My craft paint will not work, it just slides off. (I am a novice crafter)

Use Folk Art Enamel paint.

I would use spray paint that is for multi surface. Good luck!

I have not used chalkboard paint, but even a flat black paint would work. Then use a paint marker and permanently put the names on.

The lids are really smooth, have you tried lightly sanding them with high grit sandpaper to give the paint a bit of texture to stick to?

Use Krylon paint, spray can, found at Walmart, Lowes, or Home Depot. It will be fine

Make sure the paint is safe to be around food.

Buy paint that is for metal and is waterproof. Then there shouldn't be a problem when you wash them. I've seen paint for metal in spray can form also in the size of craft paint bottles. Check on-line to see what would be the best way to go.

I would scour them up a bit with sandpaper for metal - just a bit. Line em up on newspaper and hit em with some rustoleum spray. Or you can glue some fabric on top and ribbon on the side if you don't want nasty propellants!

Have had good luck with spray enamel---like was said above make sure it says multi surface---did a lot of stuff for Christmas in jars---maybe sand lightly if really shiny
