When Eiffel Tower is celebrating the 125th anniversary of its existence, the authorities are considering a major face lift for this "beauty queen" of Europe! When Eiffel tower is getting a make up it could not be a meager deal. The estimated budget allocated for this cause is about 5 million US dollars. A special team of 25 painters from Greece and Romania are doing the make up. Usually the joints along with the nuts and bolts get painted every 7 years. But this time a special paint from Norway is used to paint the Eiffel tower.
It is not easy to paint such mammoth structure. "Eiffel tower brown," a patented paint of 60 tonnes are required for the job. Painting rope up to a length of 50 Km. are also required and guess what? It will be 18 month before the last brush stroke is made.
