Hot Rod Dad,
I had the same worries as factorybrook. After some research I found that most of the colors have lead in them. I guess it enhanced the color. You will find most of the lead in red and I think yellow. I stopped sand blasting because I was worried about what I was exposing my kids to...and, my nieghbors complained too. What a messy deal. I have to find someone in Florida to finish where I stopped.
