Default RE: Paint?

If you paint the whole model, including wing panels, stab and rudder, fuse and landing gear, it should be in the 10-12 ozs area for a 2 meter type widebody, more or less depending on how large the fuse is. That includes covering material for the wing and stab, which for me is silkspan. If you are painting the fuse only, it shouldn't be more than around 4 ozs

How much weight should be added to an airplane after paint and sanding is done? 1-3 oz. 3-6oz or 6 - 10oz? Keep in mind that we fly pattern and weight is an issue
