How long did it take to paint Golden Gate Bridge?
Many misconceptions exist about how often the Bridge is painted. Some say once every seven years, others say from end-to-end each year. Actually, the Bridge was painted when it was originally built. Until 1965, only touch up was required. In 1965, advancing corrosion sparked a program to remove the original lead-based paint (which was 68% red lead paste in a linseed oil carrier). The removal continued to 1995. In 1965, the original paint was replaced with an inorganic zinc silicate primer and acrylic emulsion topcoat. In the 1980s, this paint system was replaced by a water-borne inorganic zinc primer and an acrylic topcoat. The Bridge will continue to require routine touch up painting on an on-going basis.

How can you remove primer from a painted surface like on a toolbox that has been sprayed with primer over existing paint?
Unfortunately primer is designed to prevent this, but if you know what kind of base the primer is (alcohol, acetone, water, etc., look at the primer's directions for its recommended solvents to be used for thinning or cleanup), you can try using a rag with that thinner to try to scrub away the primer. However, try this on the original paint first in an inconspicuous spot (the bottom, perhaps). If you're unlucky, the original paint may be damaged because it uses the same base as the primer, in which case, DON'T use this method.
