Painted vintage milk can 2

 I picked this milk can with only one handle at a 2nd hand shop. It isn't as big as the 2nd one but really cute and I loved the color. I mean for $6.00 I couldn't resist. I can't find any similar. I liked the chippy red and rust so I sanded off the worst parts and used varathane to seal the rest. This is where its at after 2 coats. I did not do the inside but will do the bottom. Noticeably there is a lot of paint missing from when I gave it a sanding as it was peeling off in sections. This is the other one I completed and SOLD years ago. I may Reuse this design or possibly a  holly hocks design that I have in my head.
