Yes you are partially correct. Many Red Oxide paints were known to have heavy metals (Lead) in them. They can still be used on low-trace amounts however there is a premium paid for the usage. Many of PPG's DCC line (a/k/a Concept) have heavy metals in them which is why that paint is so expensive compared to other single-stage products.
