Furious B&Q customers claim their cars are being ruined by pots of paint that are spilling open on their way home and flooding their vehicles - only for the chain to refuse any blame despite knowing of the issue for seven years. Adam Bolwell says the £42 pot of grey emulsion Valspar paint tipped over as he was driving up a hill, leaving the footwell of his Peugeot 107 'looking like a swimming pool'.
The 25-year-old claims he'd gone to the DIY store in Trowbridge, Wiltshire, to buy some grey paint to spruce up his bedroom and used his partner 25-year-old Jasmin Kanauros's car. Adam says staff mixed the colour for him while he waited and says he put the paint in the footwell of the passenger seat for the 20-minute journey home.
But minutes into his journey he claims the pot toppled over and the lid popped off, flooding the footwell of the car - which his partner needs to use for work. The accountant rushed home and tried to scoop the paint out with the mat before pressure-washing the inside of the car.
