What a numpty --- yesterday i decided at long last to do my calipers and suspension in Smoothrite (been promising to do it for last 12 months) and everything was going ok until the heavens opened as i was just about finishing the last caliper.
Went in the house to shelter from the downpour and boy did it rain, but in my rush to stay dry i had left a open tin of red paint under the wheel arch sitting on a peice of cardboard to protect the drive from any paint splashes -- needn't have bothered, as well as the rain a strong wind shortly followed and lifted the cardboard with the paint tin on it depositing the contents on my block paved drive --- what a mess.
Problem is now how to get it off, i wiped as much off as i could but now iv'e got a patch of red blocks. Drive cleaner wont shift it, paint thinners wont shift it, so maybe i will have to get down to my local bodyshop a "borrow" some paint remover ---- any idea's on what i should try.
Kath still thinks i'm lovely because she said i was a "bonny bugger".
