just been for a walk with the baby and found 2 weighbridge less than a few hundred yards from my house, so will see if i can get the car on one or both

its not strictly true of all paints but base coats are generally suspended in either solvent or water which are evaporated off before being covered in lacquer thus making them lighter once dried
2pk paints and lacquer will 'set' rather than 'dry' so these wont weigh much less if any
thats my understanding but what do i know
