Seeing the signs near the Golden Gate Bridge about how it's painted (EDIT: like a decade ago) made me think that it'd be a good idea to use drones to paint it. I explored that idea a bit deeper but it never went anywhere. There are/were some attempts at painting drones. I still think it'd be cool and could be made to work ;)

I suppose the risk of pollution would be too high, but it'd make for a cool demo.
Once on a bike ride, I met a guy who worked painting the GGB. He said he was about 50, but look 65, so it seemed plausible. He wasn't wearing a helmet even on descents, which I asked him about, and his answer was that he spends all day in a harness with hard helmet, so the last thing he wanted was more helmet time in the weekend.
