Re vamped Bird Bath

Well my husband had this bird bath in his bushes way before I came along. Since his bachelor years ;-) LOL. I decided to bring it out to the light and give it a new coat of paint. Now it had a few holes on top from the rust. I went to the store and asked if this spray paint that was for rust would seal the holes....he told me yes....but I'm gonna say no LOL. It didn't seal the holes. After it's dry I might try another way of sealing the holes so the birdies can utilize their bird bath.
