actually the warbird builders are using latex paint and a clear coat and coming out as light as monocote. what is monocote a square ft? 1 oz. or so. i saw a very detailed schedule where the guy tracked every speck of finish put on his warbird just to prove how light it can be. i just want a glossy finish that's all. that's why my current projects are headed for the paintbooth someday. 1/2 or 3/4 oz cloth with a water based polyurethane coating is extremely light (and seamless[X(])
