Default Matching Paint and balance weights

I was able to fill in the vertical fin repair cracks with spackel. I was able to find a matching color latex paint. It is Valspar VR106A Japanese Seaweed. My local Ace Hardware mixed it for me using a no sheen flat base. For balance, I ended up putting 6oz of weights in the from of the nose cowl and 12oz weights on the firewall. Now weighting on some lower wind weather to maiden fly the P-51. I hope to weigh the plane when I test run the DLE-61 motor.
