     I am in the middle of painting my 360 with a PPG base coat/clear coat

     system.  I was able to peel off large samples of primer+color+clear

     coat from duct tape sealing up the aileron bell crank opening in the

     wing.  Weighing the samples on a good lab scale (0.0001 gram

     resolution) predicts the following:

     

     primer(non-sanding)+color(2 coats)+clear(2 coats)=15.2 lb

     2 coats of clear alone=4.1 lb
