If the paint is from 1978 or earlier, have it tested. If it is lead, you really should have the paint stripped before repainting. In any event, painting over chipped paint does not not make for a very good coating. Be well. Chipped paint doesn’t necessarily mean lead. If the paint is from 1978 or earlier, have it tested.
