Spray Painted Bottles - Fail - What I Learnt

Advanced
We have had these pretty bottles for like 7 years and during this time they've gone through a LOT of transitions. First they were used as planters but soon there developed a line of salt deposit on the water level giving this ugly look, plus one of the bottles started leaking. Then, we tried to incorporate them somewhere indoors, but, with time each of the looks worn out. Few months back, I tried to give them a new look with some yarn and with time even that failed.Be ready for some ugly fugly pics.
Despite all these failures, I don't feel like throwing these bottles away cuz they are one of a kind. Don't you agree?So, to bring out the spring I decided to paint them and use them as center-piece.And the result was failure and success.Failure when I attempted the first bottle.
First try- FAIL
The one after second try

    @ JaveriyaCrafts - OK, somewhere here on Hometalk, it showed how to use rubber bands and stretch a few of them across a bottle in different directions, (wine bottle, dollar store vase, or whatever) and spray with a satin paint and wha la! Oh yeah, make sure that the rubber bands are all flat when you stretch them across the bottle. Try it and let me know how it turns out.
