i painted a design onto my plastic binder for school using acrylic paints and once i was done i realized that it was just peeling off when scratched but otherwise it's fine...
it also comes off under water....
so i want to know will a coating of teflon spray prevent the paint from peeling off?
or is there anything else i can do?
and if i can use teflon spray then how much does it cost and what stores can i find it at?
and i've asked this before and it is still open so if you answer there too and you have a good answer you might win twenty points.....

I am going to answer this question with clear contact paper will keep your stuff from coming off anymore and will look so much better than sanding the thin layer of you 3 ring binder. It will not leave you much of a surface to work with and could stretch it and rear it. The way things are made these days, manufactures have lessened the quality and the plastic covers on the binders and even on the padded fancy binders is real thin. But use clear contact paper. You can find it at walmart with the shelf liner contact papers.
Good luck.

To get paint to stick to a plastic like that, it's what you do before the paint, not after that makes a difference. You would need to rough the surface up with sand paper and then put a primer on that will stick to plastic. This is probably more work and will not give you the look you are after. I would use permanent art markers like Berol or Sharpie and do the design in that. They will stick to plastic and do not need any further finishing after they have completely dry (let it set several days to completely cure out.) Berol markers are my favorite and you can find them at any art store--they come in gorgeous colors.

teflon spray is a very bad idea!
After painting, a light coat of clear varnish will help protect it! Varnishes come as liquid or spray-can, I suggest using the spary-can type for your binder. you can find it at most arts and crafts stores

Point gaming is a violation and so is repeat postings, so these might both get deleted, but here goes anyway.
The thing you would have needed to do is prepare your surface before painting. After painting, the only sealer that would work is a clear laminating sheet. They have full size ones in the office supply store.
You could just let it finish peeling and start over. If you do, sand your cover to get the sheen off, and use a primer.
You could also use fabric paints to paint your design on fabric and then sew a cover from the fabric.

Krylon makes spray paint that goes on plastic.
If that is not an option then paint your design on
poster board and glue it to your binder. Cover with clear contact paper.

Coating the cover with modge podge, which comes in a gloss or matt finish would work. you can by it at any craft stoor, in is about 3-4 dollars. Not mutch in the scheme of things, and especially if your design is completely awesome
