I thought there was a specific thread devoted to this. If there is I could not find it.
I was under the impression that a RV paint job added up to 50 lbs (yikes!)
My naked RV-7 without wheel pants, leg fairings and intersection fairings weighed 1034. Now painted and with all of the parts it weighs 1055. So it only porked up 21 pounds I'll guess at least five of those pounds were from the fairings. So I'll say my paint weighs 16 pounds give or take.
So I am curious. For those who have personally been through this, how much did your paint job really weigh?
