How can I tell if there is lead in paint? Is there any way to test it? If I buy oil paint for this www.lducompany.com website, and it gets delivered to me, then how would I go about getting it tested. If they were not in China then I would not really worry about it, but I have heard so much about all this lead paint coming out of China. They have differnt kinds of paint on thier website. The art section is at this page http://www.liangdianup.com/artsupplies_1.htm I don't know if you can tell by looking at the brand of paint they have listed but any help I could use.

Thanks

As a lot of housed here in Australia were painted originally in paints containing lead you can buy lead paint testing kits from the hardware stores, perhaps this is the same where you are located.
