Re-Painting Garden Frog Statues

My mom has two cute frog garden statues that have seen better days.  They are structurally sound and aren't chipped or cracked, but the orginal paint colors had faded to white and grey.  Who wants grey garden frogs?  So I brought them home and spiffied them up with a new coat of paint and weather sealed them so they should keep their vibrant colors year round now.

Work in Progress

This is a swinging frog statue that hangs from a tree with rope ( rope is removed for painting ) that I am repainting for my parents.  These little guys tend to fade over time and I like to repaint and seal them so they are weather proofed as well as bright, shiny and like new!  I always forget how horrible they look after just the first coat of dull paint, before any touchups or detailing is done.  Should have an after photo of this guy soon along with another one!  ( I promise it will look much better in the end - here is the before and after of the bear I repainted. )
