Reply to comment by Zerstoror in TIL American WW2 airplanes were sent to war unpainted starting in 1943. The polished surface made the planes faster and lighter, giving more range to all planes and more cargo hold for the bombers by PatmygroinB
wow. they... don't use latex wall paint on airplanes.
and... the paint they actually do use, is enamels and epoxies... which are heavier per gallon.
this says it can require up to 1100kg of paint (i'll let you convert it)
