Gas tank problems???

Speaking of watermelon.....we have a propane gas tank for cooking beside our house.  To say it looked dreadful was an understatement.  It has been a complete eye-sore for the past 14 years, so I decided to take matters into my own hands.

The first picture is what it has looked like for 14 years.  I never knew what to do with it, other than hate the sight of it.  So, my nephew sent me a picture a couple of years ago of what it could look like.  After much contemplation, and self doubt in my ability to paint it, I finally got all the paint and decided to JUST DO IT! If I failed I could always repaint it right?  Now I am not minding looking at it beside my house.  Be of good cheer...
