Yes!
This has actually been studied in great detail, and it turns out there are many, many factors that come into play, and I will try to list them here. However, know that many great minds have been working extensively over the years to finds answers to your question. I am sure they will continue to search for answers and share them with us here.
First, and you may have already thought about this but it really begins with understanding the type and thickness of the Primer that was used underneath the paint. Do not underestimate this.
Second, another less understood variable is the configuration of the airframe---nosewheel or taildragger.
Third, there is a real, but less understood impact on whether the trim is manually activated or uses a servo. The configuration of the stick buttons is also a factor. The impact of the autotrim function, if connected to a yaw damper is even less understood.
Fourth, it seems that airflow is disturbed in various ways depending on whether it is a tip up or a slider canopy.
And since the 3 bladed props are well known to be much slower, the forces directly affecting the trim tab are much less, requiring a trim tab proportionately larger, in some cases approaching the need for an extra rudder. I think this was solved many years ago on the P-38 Lightining. It, too had 3-bladed props so they needed to add the extra rudder, requring a second fuselage to support it.
There are certainly some less-understood impacts, such as the tire pressures, type of oil being used, size of the oil cooler and the location of various air-oil separators. These also are being studied, but perhaps will be solved sooner over malts.
