Is there such a thing as flaking a few chips of paint off a wall or a pipe and then using radiocarbon or some other dating technology to get an idea of when the item was painted to within a year within the last 60 years or thereabouts??

Any info would be appreciated.

@gungasnake,
Best guess is it would be better to determine the formula and track down the manufactor.

@roger,
Thanks. I've got a sort of a weird situation which would be helped if I could tell when a particular room was painted..
