Post by: AlanHo on January 14, 2017, 21:27:34: :link: HGV crash spills 12,000 litres of paint on M606 motorway - BBC News (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leeds-38621659)

It's a good job it wasn't containers of red and blue paint - otherwise motorists would have been marooned.

I wonder if it did what it says on the tin. Covers in one coat.
