I hope this has been cleared up for you, I'm reading the last page. The frame of model locomotives is zinc. No worries! <br /> <br />And, yes, I still paint with solvent based paints when I need them and I'm not worried about it. My exposure time is extremely limited. I don't spray, I brush! If I sprayed I would would use a booth and mask. Don't go off the deep end now feeling you must warn me about how dangerous what I do, is! I am just fine. I am way more worried about all the atomized lubricants and grinding dust I breathed as a tool and die maker for 25 years. <br /> <br />I would stay away from any metal dust, if you can. Dust is very fine particles, grinding, not saw, dust. I don't think lead is as toxic as you make out. Most lead poisoning comes from kids eating lead based paints in dirt. Don't ingest. I never liked the taste of dirt so I don't think I've been exposed .
