Does anyone know if our cars would have had lead-based paint on the body panels? It seems like Germany was years ahead on the ban of lead in household paints, but I have been trying to find when it was phased out in automotive.

Not that I am aware of. Maybe O's paint is lead based... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
914 chassis were dipped in a zinc chromate bath, then received single stage baked enamel paint. The metallic paint cars received base and clear. |
