Thanks Darwin, exactly what I was looking for.
I just went and visited my local PPG dealer during lunch and started putting together a budget.
One question, and this may be obvious, but did you shoot 2X what you bought? What I mean is did you buy a gallon of white, and a gallon of reducer and actually shoot 2 gallons of white? (Actually 2 gal 16oz)
I dont think it weighs that much when its dry.. perhaps while wet.
I stripped an RV7 with a razor blade a few years back and collected every bit i could in a box.. then weighed it. It came in just under 4 pounds including the box. It was dry and cured Base/Clear.
John's close on the weight. I think weighing errors are in play here. Very difficult to get consistent weighings. When I hosted the RN boys for Sea King trials, they went through sets of scales (high dollar digital) trying for consistency. Big struggle. I've weighed the same cub 4 times in a row on & off and had a 40 pound spread. This with arm weight type scales. Same type used for powder only bigger.
