Title: Weight of enamel paints,anyone?
Post by: Fw190 on December 19, 2011, 08:21:29 PM
Hello,I've been wondering about a particular question: whether painting an aeromodel thinly with enamel paints(like the ones used on window grills)changes overall weight of the aircraft in any significant way..

Now the reason I'm interested in enamel paints is because:
a)I had previously painted one of my static models with acrylic paints,and its attracted all sorts of fine dust & threads and was difficult to clean since it was only partially waterproof unlike enamel paints.
b)They are the other alternative to spray painting(about which I have no idea).

Modelmakers with experience painting please give your inputs  ???.Any hint regarding the weight of the paints would be gratefully accepted.
