if you are looking to paint to save weight then i think you have gone too far. over a small surface like a civic your only going to save maybe 1/2 pound. i would look other places for weight reduction

That's what I heard too... Just about red paint costing more... Supposedly the red pigment is harder to make than any other color... I just don't know about the weight though. To me it's like asking which weighs more, a pound of gold, or a pound of feathers...
