"Lid fell off"

It was 4 deg when I hosed him down:-)
On the topic of "comedy paint errors" I can confess to one the other
day. I popped round to a former neighbours to help with a spot of
painting. I took a part used tin of primer with me. When I had
finished, I loaded everything back into a large black sack that was
handy and chucked it in the car. Got home and took it back to the
workshop. Its only when I got as far as the garden gate I realised I
was leaving a trail of white behind me! The lid had popped off the tin
of primer when I took it out of the boot and put it down temporarily
on the ground, and it was now pouring out of a vent hole in the bag.
That reminds me, I had probably go do some more pressure washing!
Does pressure washing remove oil-based paint ?.
Fortunately its acrylic, and its cold enough it has not really set yet.
It could have been worse - old fashioned creosote which would
have stunk out your car forever.
I was lucky, none came out in the car - think its when I took the bag
out of the boot and put it on the ground it must have popped open.
Update to say: the pressure washer did a fine job, removed all traces of
it - it just flaked off when hit up close with the jet. Just needed to
"feather" the edges a bit to avoid having a painfully clean stripe over
the flag stones!
