Painting Addresses on Curbs - Good Idea?

Going door to door offering to paint their address on their curb for them.
Not very glamorous. Very menial actually. But I do believe there is money to be found in it. Charge $10 a pop and only if you line up 10 to do a day, that`s $100 gross for maybe an hour or two of work.
Just an idea I`m considering here. What`s everyone think of it? I know that I would have to check with the city to make sure that no permits or anything like that are required, any other legal stuff I`d have to consider?
Anyone think it`s a dumb idea? I`m currently working as a pizza delivery man, which explains where the idea came from. Believe me, if everyone had their address painted on the curb the world would be just a little bit better. I deliver pizzas, think how much more serious it is for paramedics who have trouble finding the right house. I don`t know, I think it`d work, but I`d like to hear peoples feedback, suggestions, criticisms. I`d probably just simply promote it by going door to door or with doorhangers.
Thanks for the feedback!

Being a home owner I`m not sure if I`d want it, especially if it resembled graffiti.
I have seen some very nice lit house numbers that sit just above your lawn. Most I`ve seen come in a rectangular weatherproof housing. You can get them in different illuminated colors and they look very nice at night.
Maybe you can look into products like that? Learn some basic electrician skills and wire them up. You can charge retail for the parts and a nice service fee. I would buy that.
Eventually you can work up a catalog of similar products and have more to offer.
