Painting the Forth Bridge with epoxy

What could be more like painting the Forth Bridge than ... painting the Forth Bridge? The endless task - once you've finished, you have to start again (like Camus' Sisyphus) - has become a watchword for endless tasks everywhere.

Only now a special "glass flake epoxy" paint is being used which will provide a once-and-for-all coating, so that Scotland's landmark bridge will not need repainting again for decades.
