I came home from Home Depot today after buying a gallon of white paint primer and put the vette in the garage next to my black Altima. I put the paint on top of a garbage can momentarily and turned around to get something out of the vette when I feel my a** bump the garbage can. I hear this thud sound and turn around to see the horror as the lid busted open and dumped the whole gallon on my new garage floor. The pass. side of the Altima did get splattered, but was limited to the back end. My first thought was "...oh sh*t." My second thought was "..thank god it didn't touch the vette." So, after three hours on my hands and knees and using two steel bristle brushes down to the nub, the floor is clean and the Altima is clean.

Bet you don't do that again. Good thing it was a water based paint or you would still be out there cleaning.
