Today, my husband has been painting our house all weekend and plans to finish the job after work today. I decided to surprise him by completing the job myself. Painting the last window frame, I dropped the open tin of white paint, right onto our car roof. FML

You must feel like there is a black cloud over you, but don't feel blue. I just read that paint should rinse off. I hope your husband isn't a violent man, and I hope he won't pink a fight or yellow lot of you, or get sick and puce all over the place. Maybe he'll be green with envy at your new paint job. Orange you glad I was here to cheer you up?

I dont suppose ur insured at all? Once dropped paint on my carpet and it was insured.

she shouldve been in the kitchen. idk why she thought she was allowed outside, unless she was planning on hanging up laundry!

Thats what the op gets for a woman trying to do man work

if the car was white it wouldn't have been a big deal!

a white convertible though; completely different story.

why would they moderate, "should've stayed in the kitchen"?

Sounds like this is a time where your grateful you have insurance. If not, then your ******.

I can totally see the husband coming home and seeing it and he says "No worries I got this handled" Then sings "Like a good neighbor state farm is there." with a new wife that stays in the kitchen where she's suppose to be :o

not even close to funny #15, bet you get all the girls with remarks like that, learn to respect em you tool

I remember when I had my first beer.

I remember when I first watched Step Brothers...

I remember when I got my first phone...

What about the big dent in the roof of the car?

What dent? There's absolutely no mention of a dent, and even if there was one, a single dent would look a lot better than a gigantic dropped paint splotch running down the sides.

Well, you did succeed in surprising him.

That sucks! If its oil based that aint coming off!!

It wipes off with absolutely zero issue. It's not like you're painting with enamel. If you had tried to wipe it down relatively quickly you wouldn't have anything to complain about.

and I suppose the dent from the paint can will come right off, too?

"Suppose" whatever you'd like. The emphasis was on the white paint. There's no mention of any dent.

Disregard, paint thinner or goof-off will take it off just be careful not to ruin the factory paint job!

umm soap and water. if it was a water based paint cleaning it up quickly would have worked. I used to work at a paint store and spilled it all the time and soap and water worked fine. if not tell your husband it's the new style people are painting their cars :)
