Re: ANY SAFE PAINTS?
Posted by Adrian on 3/17/06

Well i went straight from here to a yahoo search and found this

In general, look for paints which:
- do not contain lead, zinc or chromate
- are "high adhesion", formulated to bond with the metal
surface
- are hard-wearing
- are fast drying

incase you wanted to read the whole article. Hope i was
helpfull.
