The owners of the forth bridge are sick of painting it and thus in 2012 will paint it at a cost of 74million quid, with a paint that will last 40 years.

Having a think about it the forth bridge is reputed to have a surface area of 50 acres , my NTV is like 1.5 sq metres surface area and even hammerite (on cleaned surfaces) won't cut it anymore. @ 74 million quid for 45 acres I put that at 350ish a square metre including labour, which is free cush I'll paint it.

Me question is where can I get such a paint? , one lick of paint lasting 40 years seems a pretty good deal to me!, even though I intend to scrap it / get rid of it every year, I'd find it amusing to still own the NTV by 2048.

Any thoughts?

From Wiky:
"Painting the Forth Bridge" is a colloquial term for a never-ending task (a modern rendering of the myth of Sisyphus), coined on the erroneous belief that, at one time in the history of the bridge, repainting was required and commenced immediately upon completion of the previous repaint. According to a 2004 New Civil Engineer report on contemporary maintenance, such a practice never existed, although under British Rail management, and before, the bridge had a permanent maintenance crew.

A contemporary repainting of the bridge commenced with a contract award in 2002, for a schedule of work expected to continue until March 2009, involving the application of 20,000 m² of paint at a cost estimate of £13M a year. This new coat of paint is expected to have a life of 20 years. In 2008 the total cost was reviewed upwards to £180M, and projections for finishing the job to 2012.

In a report produced by JE Jacobs, Grant Thornton and Faber Maunsell in 2007 which reviewed the alternative options for a second road crossing, it was stated that the estimated working life of the Forth Rail Bridge was in excess of 100 years. [8]


I think Halfrauds have that 40 year stuff. £300/Lt.

Maybe fire an email off asking them where to get the stuff in a 1litre tin?

How can Hammerite not cut it? I thought it worked on anything.

Your NTV looks proper cool, in a ratty kind of way...
