I don't think it should be painted, isn't that the point of it being lead.
Flashing occurs when a surface has not been properly sealed, so a latex acrylic primer applied over the surface first will keep an eggshell enamel paint from flashing.
Most paint companies had stopped using lead in their paint at that time, however, never assume that paint is lead free. Use a lead paint test to determine if lead if present prior to sanding or scraping.
No. Now all paint is lead free after it was shown that if you use lead paint then your next generation will be screwed.
no, the use of lead paint has been illeagal for decades
if it is enamel it is possible but incase of nitro cellular paint it is not possible for red shade to be without lead
Very Carefully....

To prevent paint flashing when applying a new coat of paint, make sure to properly clean and prepare the surface, use a high-quality primer, apply the paint evenly and consistently, and avoid overworking the paint.
Lead flashing is commonly used in the roofing industry and can cause lead contamination. Lead can cause problems with water systems if the flashing is not water tight.

Lead is. people often mistake the graphite in pencils for lead. Lead is used in batteries, in stained glass as the piece bonder, and in old paint. Lead is banned for use in paints, water pipe systems, and much more. Lead flashing is still allowed in building construction.
To join lead flashing, first clean the surfaces to ensure a secure bond. Use a lead soldering iron to heat the edges of the flashing, then apply lead solder to the joint while ensuring a tight fit. For a watertight seal, use a sealant compatible with lead if needed. Always check local building codes for specific guidelines regarding lead flashing installation.
PAINT flashing on your walls occurs when certain areas of paint reflect light differently, often due to variations in the paint application, surface texture, or sheen levels. This can happen if the paint was applied unevenly, if different types or sheens of paint were used, or if the surface wasn't properly prepared before painting. Environmental factors like humidity and temperature during application can also contribute. To minimize flashing, ensure consistent application and use the same paint type and sheen throughout the project.
Lead based paint is paint that has a significant amount of lead (Pb) as a constituent of the color pigments in the paint.
When covering lead paint, it is important to use encapsulating paint specifically designed to seal in the lead paint and prevent exposure.
