[quote=Anonymous]We have a 50's era house that's been maintained pretty well. The only area that has us concerned is the baseboards in a few areas. One spot, in particular, is starting to peel and I can see at least 3 colors there. Since this is the baseboard, there is a good chance that lead paint is somewhere down at the bottom, but I have no idea how many coats of paint has been on there over the years. What is best to do? Should I test what is exposed? Is it fine to just paint over without sanding? I hate that look, but it seems safer than potentially disturbing something. Hiring pro painters is not in the budget right now, but I have about 2 weeks where I can do the labor myself. [/quote]
