These rust stickers are sold as an 'anti-theft device' to deliberately make a bike or car look less attractive.
Another idea I came up with were satellite dishes. These are obviously not put up for the sole purpose of looking bad, they are, however, an example of something being applied to a building and uglyfying it.
I have found some examples of people trying to deal with this problem:
A camoflague sticker. Bit of an issue with matching pattern, size, colour of bricks and only works from one direction.

Now why wouldn't you want to do that?!
Painted satellite dishes. The work of a Dutch artist working with school children in Amsterdam. If you want to see more examples of some of the fabulous things that people have done to/with satellite dishes around the world then
