I can remember my son using about 6 galons of paint to paint the back of the porch...i was sitting on the front porch he was playing in the back yard. he had some on his hands jacket and sneakers...he was quite neat for 2 1/2...the mailman was going by and saw him i the gap between houses. he got a screwdriver and opened the cans. he remembers parts of it mostly that he had to throw away his baseball jacket...he really liked it :wink:
