Ah, lead paint...I can't see that there will ever be a problem with that...

Yeah, but they last used lead paint in the 60s or 70s...try to get modern latex paint to last 30-40 years. I've got 50+ year old paint on my house, some of it is flaking and some of it isn't going anywhere.

I'm not advocating for lead paint but it was many times more durable that what you can buy now.
