Six Metal Garden Cranes

I have no idea why these have the horrible paint all over them, but i'm trying to figure out how i should paint them to cover it. I'll probably just use a charcoal color and paint them all over it w/ that. I was thinking recently how i'd like to have one of those metal garden cranes to use near a water feature i designed recently, and now i have nine of them! it's raining cranes!
