The people in the blue car had a 5 gallon tin of paint on the back seat when they had the accident








The attending ambulance man treated the sad looking driver, who was apparently overcome with emulsion

Happened to me once, 25l of paint in the boot of my brand new Vauxhall Cavalier!

Luckily for me it was a saloon!

Paul, this looks like a low speed shunt and demonstrates forces involved on unrestrained objects (and passengers)

Together with a couple of fellow members from TIPEC NW, we're thinking of building a 944 track car.... the most important elements of which will be a decent shell, strong cage, appropriate seats and harnesses!

Years ago when I used to buy, sell & repair cars we were offered a Golf which had a tin of emulsion explode inside. We worked out that we could replace the trim & clean it up but the smell would be there forever so passed on it.

That dashboard seems a bit patchy and looks like it will need a second coat...

Years ago one of my first summer jobs was labouring in a builders yard. Dropped a 10tlr tub of white paint in the footwell of the boss's brand new Toyota Hi-Lux. For some reason I wasn't fired and worked for them every summer until I finished collage, the smell was still noticeable after 5 years.
