Watermelon

How to turn an unsightly propane tank into a WATERMELON!

1. Purchase spray paint. Wow – I found “John Deere Green” and “John Deere Yellow”. Perfect colors for making utilitarian metal products attractive. I also got another can of slightly darker green.
2. This project is best done on a pleasant summer day when the husband is away on business, because he is likely to come up with some reason why you “can’t” do this.
3. Using a hose and scrub brush and an environmentally friendly cleaner, wash off dirt.

4. Mask off areas that have labels, valves, hoses, etc.


5. Do a light overall coat of John Deere Green. I originally planned to do a zucchini, but the little back and forth strokes looked more like watermelon.
6. Apply some rows of dark green in long continuous strokes.
7. Add John Deere Yellow between the dark green.
8. Re-apply a few more light continuous stripes of green and yellow.
9. Remove masking tape, and look at the great watermelon!
