I starting stripping paint off my car this weekend and it wasn't until last night that I thought about this. Is there lead in the factor paint or primer?

 

if i recall right my techer told me that the lead was removed from paint in the 70's-80's sometime, i think yours being a '91, you have no problem but someone correct me if im wrong. wouldnt want you to get cancer or anything.

 

wearing a mask is still definitely in your favor

 

With the emmission laws and whatnot in California I sincerely doubt that GM would be allowed to spray leaded paint in the factories. Hell, California was giving them a hard time about the safer paint they were using, hence fourth gen production took place in Canada.


And as stated above: lead paint fased out in the 70s or so. It was a big health risk.

 

oh yes most certainly with anykind of bodywork where there will be vapors or dust of any sort you should always wear some kind of respitory (sp?) protection.

 

lead was banned from all paint around 78 i think you have nothing to worry aobut man

 

 

especially in cali fornia

most is water based out there

anyone knows this, or should by now

you worry too much lol

happy sanding

 

The more you think about stuff like this, the less you get done! Now get back to work. No more excuses.
