I have been asked to quote for the restoration of a church clock face. The background will be painted and the numerals and hands will be gilded. I'm fine with the gilding but have no experience with lead paint and I am finding it difficult to find any information. English heritage say "If you want to use lead paint for qualifying structures or artworks in England you must obtain a declaration form from the supplier of the paint, complete it, and send it back to the supplier.' The problem is I can find no suppliers. Is there anybody on this forum that has any experience with obtaining and using lead paint? I would be grateful for any help on this.
