On a side note, once had a rod man step on a yellow jacket nest in the ground, of course he dropped the rod when he ran. Well not wanting to waste time in retrieving the rod, I punctured a can with my machete and lobbed it grenade style on top of the nest which instantly created a orange fog, funny watching 50 or so wasps try to fly around all painted orange. Sure quieted them down. After the paint had dispersed, picked up the rod, wiped it off and went back to work.

Set a can on the side of the road while we were chaining down to look for bounds. Out in the woods heard an explosion, then saw the mailman drive by, side of his truck, hot pink.
😛 :good:
I had a party chief that did that once. His was in the back of a van we had. The van looked like the bank robbers car in the “Raising Arizona” movie, except it was surveyor orange. :-O
After all was said and done, he was only able to get the windows clean. It took about two years for the paint on the roof and walls to wear out.

Love it Jim. That is classic.

We had a can of orange explode at the end of a nice paved driveway owned by a lawyer we were working for. It was not quite as bad as the picture, but close. I offered to repair the damage, but he said no problem, his groundskeeper would take care of it. It looked bad, but probably a few minutes with the black paint they use on asphalt drives fixed the problem.
Some years ago, when Big Help was about 5, they found a nice can of pink upside down paint in the truck. They painted the cab with it. All over the top. And, then called me to brag!
I smiled. (Not much else to do) Took it to the car wash, and most of it came off.
I told them good job. But, really, I like it white better, so it does not get so hot.
They never did it again.
