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.
It is not safe to paint over lead paint without proper precautions. Lead paint can be harmful if disturbed, as it can release toxic dust and fumes. It is recommended to consult with a professional for safe removal or encapsulation of lead paint.

You can paint over lead paint. However, you do not want to sand or scrape the lead paint beforehand. This will create dust that you may breathe in and that is dangerous.
To safely paint over lead paint in your home, follow these steps: 1. Test for lead paint using a DIY test kit or hire a professional. 2. If lead is present, take precautions such as wearing protective gear and using a HEPA vacuum. 3. Encapsulate the lead paint by applying a sealant or primer specifically designed for lead paint. 4. Paint over the sealed lead paint with a high-quality, lead-free paint. 5. Clean up carefully and dispose of any lead-contaminated materials properly.

With the EPA locking in the restrictions of lead paint usage, automobile manufacturers are not allowed to use it on their cars. However, many classic car enthusiasts still use paints that have small levels of lead in them. In Addition, much of the lead on the cars original body work does contain lead. There have been cases where children received lead poisoning from the dust created from refinishing classic cars. Any car built before 1975, which has its original body paint, should be checked for lead based paint and kept from children during refinishing.
Encapsulant paint is beneficial for lead-based paint remediation because it seals in the lead paint, preventing it from flaking or chipping and releasing harmful lead dust into the environment. This helps to reduce the risk of lead exposure and poisoning, especially in older buildings where lead paint may be present.
To determine if paint is lead-based, you can use a lead test kit available at hardware stores. Follow the instructions on the kit to test a small sample of the paint. If the test shows a positive result for lead, then the paint is lead-based.
