I'm in trouble guys: Sympathy needed
« on: 10 April 2012, 15:18:46 »

Ok, somehow or other I've managed to get exterior eggshell paint on the drivers seat of my Daughters Corsa & I've had a severe ear bending I can tell you  :-[.

It transferred from my old work trousers which I'd been painting in, I must have brushed against the wet paint and then sat in her car.

It's now dry, so I'll be contacting Sandtex's customer service dept for some life saving advice.

Step 1: Offer to buy daughter a new car.
Step 2: Grovel.
Step 3: Repeat as necessary ;)

Santex's customer support folks were sympathetic but not actually much use TBH.

"if it's still wet then try white spirit", well, it isn't wet - it's very very dry ..........

So, what's the collective OOF experience/suggestion/comments on this please?

Interesting approach, but its success is more dependent on the year of the daughter!
I think you'll be looking for a secondhand seat.
And doing a lot of grovelling.

I used to work for Sandtex and believe me there is no way it will all come out, wet or dry. White spirit tends to discolour the material as well.
Nothing for it but new seat or covers i'm afraid
