Is the OEM Paint on cb7s lead based?

[Darius.27]

I'm going to sand my hood today for painting purposes and just wanted to know if the oem paint is lead based and how much precaution I should take

I highly doubt it. That was a big deal way back in the day. You should always were a mask though

Wow really? Never have I heard of lead based automotive paint, and I used to be in the industry.

More than likely its an acrylic urethane, I'm a little fuzzy on what the norm for the early 90's cars are. I wouldn't worry too much about wearing a mask, but then again I guess I don't plan on living too long.

I think I got my info mixed when someone told me that the paint could be pretty bad to breathe in as the dust. Never hurts to ask though lol

Any dust isn't healthy to breathe.

The other day I bought a can of blue spray paint from lowes and It said something like warning Contains lead.
