Every day of my life, I learn something new, that makes me realize how little I actually know.
Nowledge!
You can't have too much.
Glad I spent all of those years in high school.

But if I work on a pint of beer BEFORE I paint the plane, how much will it weigh then?

Typical paint job on a 747 weighs about 2,000 pounds, or so I have been told. So, if paints weighs 8 pounds to the gallon, that would work out to 250 gallons, which is not hard to believe.
Please feel free to correct me with facts.
But remember, Earl Scheib would have painted it for $99.00!
