I think Ive spilt enough paint to cover the 350 Enterprise with tiedie colorsBanged Head [banghead]
I once had a MM bottle of black thinned down for washes that exploded all over me. I was trying to knowck the lid loose. It was stuck :( And I dont know how many times Ive held the a/b with my mouth while doing something with the paint. I just happen to bite down too hard and tyhe paint was catapulted not only on my shirt and paints but on my model, and in my face, and who knows where else...Dead [xx(]Banged Head [banghead]Confused [%-)]Dunce [D)]

Just happened ...
I was stirring some stain for a project and managed to knock over the can; went all over the bench and through the cracks between the planks on the top, right onto my Taig modeling lathe.

Took me many hours to disassemble, clean, reassemble, and recalibrate.

My husband was building a M16 Motor Gun Carriage when my 3 year old decided that daddy's "truck" didn't look pretty enough being green. She then got a bottle of blood red paint and painted almost the whole thing. I was mighty pretty. Needless to say that she was punished and he learned to keep the paints where she can't reach them.

I was once transporting a semi completed M163 up the stairs in the middle of the night. The tray had the model, its sprues, paint and a number of other stuff on it.. Thats when I tripped. I just fell forward, but the model proved that the heavier bits are always the ones that are the most delicate. Needless to say production was delayed on that one. Besides the shocking paint choice it ended up not too bad..

And then there was the humbrol flat black enamel.. I managed to get almost all of it out of the bedroom carpet..
