Put 3 x 10 ltr tubs of white emulsion in my boot the night before last. Drove home and then drove to my mums yesterday to wash the car. Opened the boot and one of the tubs was on its side, with 10 ltrs of white emulsion in the boot.

Everything in the boot was ruined. I have manged to save the boot carpet and boot lining (that covers teh rear qtr panels) by soaking them with water, scooped up all the emulsion from the spare wheel well with a sponge and water.

Some paint had managed to run under the rear seats scopped up most of this apart from in the corners where my fingers couldn't reach, hopefully this will dry and cause no further problems.

However there is some paint on the rear seats that I cany get off.

I am taking the car to the garage today to get the seats removed from the car so that I can cover them in water/chemicals to get the marks out.

Can't thank my mum enough for her help yesterday . All I wanted to do was cry, but three and half hours later it didn't look to bad

To get the door cards out, you have to remove the seats. Everything is supprisingly well put together. It took ages to get the thing apart when I had to fix mine!

Not as bad as a tub of oil spilling in your boot, now that is nasty
