Yes. Lead chromate is still used in automotive paints in the EU and US. It was supposedly banned in the EU as part of REACH in 2015 but there were (and I think are still) exemptions in place. Golf - bright yellow - was in the BMW colour charts on and off throughout the 70s and 80s. So I'm calling that one out as bollocks.
