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 its really cute and I loved the color. I mean for $6.00 I couldn't resist. I liked the chippy red and rust so I sanded off the loose 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.

This is the design I picked up from various folk painting resources. I coated it one more time with varnish but one more cost of red will be needed.

Thos flower needs a little something as both the yellow and orange didn't adhere as well as I thought.
