The thing is, ANY unknown paint, CARC or otherwise, MIGHT contain heavy metals
or other toxic gunk, so the best thing is to just assume the worst. There are a
lot of "civilian" paints that contain heavy metals. Always wear the right
respirator or other safety equipment when spraying, stripping, or sanding.
As to welding, you can get low-profile disposable welding respirators (with
activated carbon layers) that you can wear under a welding helmet. Just make
sure they're approved for the smoke from the paint. Check with the
manufacturer.
