So I went to B&Q for some white paint... (pics)

ah bugger yeah i bet that was it the seat squashing it,

atleast it wasnt gloss, and you got it out

Oh no had a similar accident but was in my boot in a plastic bag and i had a load liner so no real damage and it was emulsion so washed off no problems

yes an expensive tin of paint

The b7 saloons' curry hooks are made for jobs like this

But i did the same but with oil in the boot - messy!

Same thing with a 1L bottle of oil in the boot, the cap came loose and it was all in the spare wheel well. Had to park the car on a hill, scoop it out with a soup ladle, mope the rest up with a rag and put a load of cat litter down to soak up the remainder – major hassle!!!

Not sure if it was the heat from the exhaust that caused the bottle to open but I don’t keep the oil in there now, the side boot cupboard with it triple bagged seems a lot safer

Could have been worse ...

As above, thanks for sharing! Having embarked on a DIY project, its accidents like this that make me glad I have my B5 snotter!

Time to remove the spare bottle of oil from my boot, I think. Maybe stick it in a lock&lock container to be on the safe side.

I feel a bit bad for finding that so funny, just imagined it from the other car's perspective, they crash and the other car's windscreen goes white and then 4 white people climb out haha
