Be seen: If you potentially have a foreign body stuck in your foot you certainly would be well suited to be seen and evaluated.

I'm guessing...No.: You have no way of knowing if there was any paint on that area to begin with. Relax. If you are going to have a problem, you will know soon enough. Be alert to the start of swelling, redness, pain or heat in the area. Be prepared to go to the doctor at first sign of a problem. Keep us informed.
