Yeah I remember a blue paint in the RS6 a little bit ago, but was there a red incident aswell? Man, why are people hauling around paint supplies without some regard to their interiors? Poor guy, I really feel bad for him, but that is really not a smart move. Hopefully he can get it all sorted out without wasting a ton of money.
