Does white paint weigh the same as other colors?

Theoretically flat colors should weigh less than metallic colors as there is different constituents and also layers of clear laquer on top of metallic paints. I don't know how true all that is though.

You'd be amazed how much the paint weighs on a car or 4x4 truck. It's reckoned (can't guarantee the provenance though) on the average sized car the paint weighs 10>15lbs and on a truck or luxury car even heavier. Metallic paints have multiple clear coats so they also add up. It's a serious consideration with racing cars particularly F1.

Where's the shovel, dexter?
LOL. SHTF, right?

Really though, the straps and shrink wrap are for hauling and binding materials and the pistols for hammering and nailing bad guys.

But I'm with dusty here, that P32 has to be what puts her over. How do you like it by the way? It's a neat little gun and I've been looking into maybe getting one.
Love it. By far the best carry weapon for size and weight. Only thing close is the Seecamp but its still a little thicker and quite a bit heavier.

Yep. At the dump. The people at my local dump are really friendly and said they wouldnt mind me coming whenever I wanted to weight big items but Im also a regular customer as I haul my own garbage since I dont contract for garbage service. I weighed it after I had just made a dump with my trailer so I pulled over to the side, unhooked my trailer and ran back up on the scale.
