From Tidewater Pidgin and Qarsherskiyan English, a Lead-Paint Job means a shooting. It is inferred that paint means blood and lead means lead bullets in this case, when pondering the origin of the term, which first surfaced by at least 1998 in downtown Newport News, VA from the slang and terminology of a now irrelevant gang that was mostly comprised of Qarsherskiyan Vodou practitioners.
There was a terrible Lead-Paint Job at Richneck Elememtary and a 6-year-old nearly ended his teacher, bloody awful, eh?
