BANG!

So, in case you were wondering, this is what happens when a can of spray paint explodes two feet in front of your face.

I was hammering away in the shop at work when a precariously balanced can of satin black toppled and fell right into the path of my oncoming hammer. It happened so quick I didn't have time to stop my swing...

You can see a line above my eye - that's where the paint was deflected by my glasses! They were totally black afterwards, and I had to clean them very carefully with 409 to get all the paint off without scratching the polycarbonate lenses.

Took me 30 minutes in the shower to get the worst of it off. My arm's still covered.

LOL - I think I’ll tell people it was a dynamite cigar!  That’s way funnier.
