I am a paint chemist and you should not worry at all. The refence to cancer causing substances is most likely referring to the solvents in the paint not the metallic bit. Even if it was, a one off exposure will not cause cancer. If you are routinely working with spray paint esp. in the car refinish industry make sure you wear the protective gear recommended (gloves, breathing equipment).

Take care and relax.

I wouldn't worry about it, you would need to be exposed to alot of paint to get cancer from it and with it just on your fingers and in the process of being washed off the risk of cancer is zero.
