At least that one was totaled anyway. I can't find the link, but I remember a forum thread several years ago about a new benz with an interior absolutely covered in paint. Apparently the owner had a can of spraypaint under the seat, and upon either entering or exiting the vehicle, the power memory seats did their thing and burst the can. Most of the mess came from the frantic owner trying to get the spewing paint grenade out of the vehicle.

In reply to corytate:

Or thinking the other driver exploded on impact and their insides were yellow!

I have been there. Three months after buying my first new car ever, I found the can of green interior enamel in the back had tipped over and covered the back of the car. I drove home, tore the back of the car apart, and spent the next hour with a hose. When I was done, there was green paint in the body welds under the carpet and two small spots on the headliner, but everything else was fine.

Was the accident the cause of the spilled paint or the spilled paint the cause of the accident?

I did that too.. but with some latex stuff for making moulds. It left the carpet in my hatch remarkably untouched looking.. but with a great anti-slip property
