See, I'd like something that didn't blend in. Reproductions of famous artworks on the inner walls, candy stripes or spots, well painted famous quotes (not grafitti) - if you've got to have the damn things and they're never going to blend in if you paint them green, grey or even the optimistic sky blue why not make them stand out instead?

Re: Should concrete bridges be painted?
just plant ivy at the bottom and let it grow all over the bridge apart from the road of course but traffic would stop it spreading ontothe road , probably cheaper than painting or dying the concrete as well

Nice way to blend them in but one concern would be if the Ivy would affect the integrity of the concrete structure.

A 6" paintbrush - it took me a week

Selected the bridge in p-shop and just adjusted the hue/saturation to get the right colour

You select a "magic wand" tool and press the colour you want to highlight, you can change the sensitivity of it if it selects the shades you don't want, you also have a few buttons - select new, add, subtract and intersect
