Just went to the car with the touch up pen's to cover a stone chip, unscrewed the lid instead of pulling it off & turned it upside down 
Grey primer all over the bonnet, windscreen, scuttle pannel, wing & all the gaps in between...........just spent the last hour & a half cleaning it off.

Nope, didnt get round to doing it after wiping, washing & polishing the car
It was meant to be a 5 min quick touch up job turned into a right nightmare
