paint had lead in it and it did not fall off ?? all my cars were done in lead and metal finsh were this could de done .the body work on my cars is from the 80s and never had to do much with it when i re paint them i would get it all done and finsh at out with very thin coat of body filler it is still on there. now do i think lead is the best ? no i do not. but it works well in some places were bondo will not. i like no filler at all and try to do this on all of my work this is faster for me when i work in the body shops i did not have to set and watch things dry and the work was better. as fare has thing not sicking to lead the lead is tined to the steel and plastic fill is not so the lead will not just fall off i have done leading on a off for 29 years. me and my sister would ride are bikes to the paint store and get it for my 34 ford truck . pant will not stick good to aluminum if you do not know how to prep it to so i do not think much about that the paint falls off lead
