Ok so i started the slow restoration of the GnG today and while wire wheeling the marquee brackets I thought of something. Is the paint used on these cabinets likely to be lead based?

I wasn't wearing a mask at first and particles of the paint and rust were flying in the air. Just want to make sure i protect myself.
 
Honestly, you should wear a mask whether there is lead or not. Period.

However, in regards to whether there is lead or not, lead based paint was banned in the US in 1977.

Most of the games any of us are working on are post-1977 and I would say that most of the cabs where also built in the US. Who knows about cabs\parts built elsewhere.
