I want the brochure on what to expect from my white lead paint. Unequalled coverage and long, tasty strips is the way to go.

I remember having an older client in Louisville, Ky...who was having his house painted. (He used to be a contractor.) He was complaining that paint "Weren't no good anymore since they took the lead out."

Well, he'll be happy to know that "paint with significant lead content is still used in industry and by the military. For example, leaded paint is sometimes used to paint roadways and parking lot lines."

Oh, he's long since died....

I thought that they'd banned gumption-based paints years ago? :)
