Thanks Becky! I tip my hat to you. The illustrations make it look easy enough but the surface area I'm painting isn't that large. I was thinking of painting those metal pieces I picked up for my glass lamp shades. Maybe I should just stick with a solid color, it might be difficult to get in around all those "loops". Sticking tongue out

I lucked out a bit when I bought this sun on clearance at Lowe's last fall. It was regularly $24.99 marked down 75%. Made the cost $6.25, I think. Anyway, it was a concrete gray. I think it's made of material similar to hypertufa. I hung it outside and within a month it turned this color. And I didn't have to do a thing. Usually, I can't get things like I want them if I try. But this did its own thing and came out perfectly. Go figure. Hilarious!

Thanks, all.

Lowe's usually has the 75% off sales in October, I think. I'm patiently waiting for this year's. Big Grin

This is not really my thing but for $5 from Lowe's, I hope a friend that has a Tiki bar on her patio will love it.
