Characterising paint by way of metal composition

Lead-based paints have been manufactured for more than couple thousand years and, even granting the use of lead-based paints has been restricted, identifying the manufacturer of a certain paint can be important. Hall and Tinklenberg (J Anal At Spectrom 2003 18 775-8) have reported that discrimination between different paint manufacturers can be achieved according to determining the ratio of Ti, Zn and Pb in the paint, through energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (EDXRF)

A library of data was created first on analysing a range of lead-based paints for their Ti, Zn and
