DIY Frequently Asked Questions / Is there a way I can test my exterior paint to see if it contains lead?


Yes. There are several do-it-yourself test kits that are approved by the EPA. Go to www.epa.gov/lead/pubs/kits.htm for a listing of test kits that have been approved. Approved test kits generally come with verification cards, while many non-approved test kits don’t.
