Chipping chalkboard paint on jar lids

I recently painted chalkboard paint on the flat metal part of a mason jar lid. When I screw the tops on, the paint underneath on the flat metal part is chipping off. Is there any way to stop this other than not painting where the ring goes?

If you use several light coats of spray paint, you shouldn't need a primer or anything to help,the paint adhere. If you used actual paint, your coat may have been a bit thick and that can cause sticking on the jar ring.

Did you use a primer prior to painting?

Laura I have used both spray and brush on chalkboard but the spray is best for small items like lid inserts, 2 or 3 light coats and no primer needed. I use them all the time for storage and leftovers and I haven't had any chipping.

Maybe you just put the ring part of the lid on to soon. It takes paint 30 days to fully cure to its optimum hardness.
