I'm with smiling JW on this. Claim on your insurance if you can.

In the spare wheel well under the tyre you should find a series of drain plugs. Prise out of sockets and scrape as much as you can towards the holes - then its a lot of sponging.Most of the interior trim affected will never be the same again so consider replacement new/secondhand.
Depends on how car proud you are but its likely to prove an expensive accident.

Not a lot. Go to a scrap yard/second hand car parts dealer and get another set of rear car seats and floor fittings. It would take hours to try and remove all that paint, and when it dries off a little it will be almost impossible.
I'm with Eric too, If your insurance covers you maybe you could use them. Depends on your insurance excess compared to the cost of second hand seats.

All I can suggest in future it to put the paints inside another deep container.
