So I think I may have time to start working on cars again. At the very least I have some extra panels I was gonna use to play with sanding / welding and put the younger Michael to work hand sanding based off how many "F"s he managed to earn. In related news I also have a new little one (four weeks old Thursday).
So, while planning on work on a 1964 C10 I realized that the paint was probably lead based. Then I realized I had no idea when lead paint quit being used. A test kit looks to have confirmed that my wife's '70 and a panel from a '73 are positive for lead. So... Are there any mitigation strategies for stripping lead based paint at home? (I'll leave the actual disposal of dust / whatever to another topic at some other point). Do body shops do anything special when working with older vehicles? |

Trust me, from first hand experience, they don’t do much.

Trust me, from first hand experience, they don’t do much. I assume that's the body shops not doing something different? I figured it'd depend on the shop. It's crazy how little mention I've (not) found. Certainly I've not looked that hard in the wrong places... |
