I was offering you the opportunity to learn and prove me wrong.

Metalics will weigh more and can hit 400g. Single color base and clearcoat can be 100- 150g.

Like everything in cycling- it varies. But 4.5oz is a reasonable average based on how few metalics I see.

This is based on 2 frames I have weight before stripping paint, after the strip, then after being repainted. Additionally, its based on a frame I built and had painted(weight it before and after), and then also a frame I weight before stripping then had powdercoated(which is k own to be heavier)

So 4 frames. Admittedly not some vast sample size, but its actually a sample size and not a WAG.
