Re: Weight savings between enamel and lacquer paint?
Whether you use lacquer or enamel it will take 1/2-3/4 of a gallon to coat Dart or Nova. Get a gallon each, weigh them and do the calculation.

Re: Weight savings between enamel and lacquer paint?
What about the 30lbs of stickers you guys run to get your contingency money? LOL.
Maybe you could leave the car in primer and then have one of those companies do a vinyl "Wrap" for your car in whatever choice you want to and have the wrap include all of your contingency stickers that you want to run. |

Re: Weight savings between enamel and lacquer paint?
Thanks for the reply guys. When I said lacquer I was meaning base coat / clear coat. I would've thought that there would be a noticeable weight difference. When enamel gets chipped it looks a lot thicker than when a bc/cc gets chipped. Therefor I was thinking more material = more weight.
