Gents,
How many of you have balanced your elevators after paint?
Mine were balanced (with the pushrod disconnected) prior to paint. After paint I had to add a considerable amount of weight to balance them again. Fortunately I installed a nutplate in the forward tooling hole in the end rib (during elevator construction) which allowed me to attach the additional weight securely.
