Hopefully not lead paint?

It probably is: lead paint is much more durable and resistant, which is why it was everywhere in the 50s

Aren't there some fancy synthetic paints nowadays that are just as durable as lead paint? (At a much higher price of course)

Well that's a compelling point in favor of modern fridges.
