Anyone got a feel for how much weight the average paint job adds to an RV-10?

My paint job by Grady (GLO Custom) added 27 pounds. That’s from a direct weighing before and after.

With the 27.0 pound GW increase did you also get an aft movement of your previous CG? If so how much?

A rule of thumb on aircraft paint jobs is 20 to 35 pounds depending on the paint scheme, color, or colors and the dexterity of the applicator. On a metal airplane, if you cannot see the faint outline of the rivits, you have to much paint. Suggest you look at other paint jobs done by the painter you choose before signing on the bottom line. Aircraft paint such as Randolph or Stits will result in less weight added, and is more flexible than auto paints.
If you want to learn how to paint, a high pressure gun will give you a lighter film of paint than a HVLP gun. Good luck.

I cannot figure it out , but my plane gained only 18# with 3 color scheme
1605# to 1617#. I cannot figure out why so little weight. I did the new weight with 9 qts of oil not the 12 qts that I did originally.
I figured that it was about 2# per qt of oil 2# x 3 = 6# (12#+6#=18#)

Just some thinking out loud here
- that's about 1.1% of the gross weight - sounds right. A larger
aircraft would have a diminishing percentage of paint to gross weight
I recall someone saying a fully painted airliner's weight could be about
.5% of gross weight. Just guessing here.
- 3 color vs 1 color I don't think matters much. I learned that a
gallon of Imron white is significantly heavier than a gallon of Imron
autumn sun with pearlescent effect. Color can be lighter (?)
- 18lbs is a significant chunk of weight to haul around day in and day
out - offhand, I'm thinking that a minimal panel weighs less. How much
does a wheel and tire weigh? I've moved a 10lb flight bag around the
cockpit to fix CG issues in the Maule.
- I would have a hard time losing or gaining 18lbs in body weight but
I'm not sure what that has to do with anything
- I wish I had weighed some parts pre and post paint to figure out what
is going on
