The Golden Gate Bridge is an iconic image, largely due to its bright orange paint job that never seems to rust or tarnish. The reason the Bridge can maintain its look amidst the salt water air, the constant usage, and the California sun, is because of Chad Allan and his team of painters. The job of upkeep on the Bridge is a never-ending battle filled with a variety of obstacles one might not consider.
