i actually wish we still used lead. The one time I've encountered actual lead paint it was in a 1800s farm house we were painting the old mud room.
I took a knife, cut the top layer of paint and it just peeled off the lead wall. I then used a high bond bonding primer, did two coats of primer, two top coats of paint, then tried the finger nail test and it just peeled right off. The primers we have no days literally won't bind to lead paint because it is so hard.
A wall painted like literally 100 years ago, STILL held its color and sheen. It is magnitudes better than any product we use now days. Even oil based primers couldn't bond to it. It was insane.
