For a good paint job, to me it would add 40-50 lbs to the car. Start with a bare metal car. No body flaws. Primer to protect the paint. Sand smooth. Then use pinhole filler to get all the pits that the primer did not fill. Sand again. Prep for paint. With a BLING BLING paint job it takes a flat color coat with several coats of clear coat. To paint the whole car you'd need about a pint to a quart of paint, 6-8 lbs. For a nice shine, 3 coats of clear should do with about the same amount of paint x3. 24 lbs. But i did not figure in the primer. Right now were up to 35 lbs. To re-paint a car, you do not strip all the old paint off and might have to use a little bondo.
Get my point.
for that added pep

i know that is the case with stainded glass, there is some sort of chemical reaction with gold that turns it into red, i know this cause i did some stainded glass work last year for my teacher and a square foot of any regular glass was about 2-3 dollars cheaper than red glass. honistly, im not making this up
can anyone conform this?
