We have a bay window at the front of our house with lead flashing which has started to weather a little bit. I've recently painted the house and was just wondering can you paint lead flashing with exterior masonry paint or not? Would it be an advisable thing to try?

Massonry might be a bit brittle..id go for straight gloss no undercoat..after you have given it a nice wash down and keyed it with some fine wire wool..(whiles its wet, to kepe the dust down)
 
You could use Patination Oil. Wickes have it.
Gives a nice, clean, newish finish, if your lead is not too far gone or full of paint splashes.
