David: I don't know the surface area of a 10 but it takes 20lbs of
JetGlo to cover the Fuselage and 25lbs of JetGlo to cover the rest of
the plane when the paint is dry. I hope this helps. Doc

David: Sherwin-Williams Acry Glo Paint weighs 0.0061-0.0084 lbs. /
square ft per dry mil coverage, a gallon covers 800-815 square ft per
dry mil coverage and the dry weight paint to cover an RV10 is 45 pounds,
You should be able to estimate the amount of paint you should need. Go
to Sherwin-Williams, Aerospace Coatings, Product Data for this info.
Good luck. There is a real skill in painting a plane. Doc

My RV10 (N810RK) gained about 35 pounds when it was painted. It was painted by
T&P at Salinas, CA. Juan and his crew do good work but they are not the cheapest.
I painted all the fiberglass with Evercoat feather fill and blocked it down
a bit before they got it. They probably sanded most of the feather fill off,
but at least I got all the pin holes filled. That probably accounts for the
small difference in finished weight. I ended up at 1,749 lbs empty. Dynon 3 screen
panel, dual ADAHARS, Garmin 650 and Dynon 3 axis autopilot. I think it could
be built a little lighter with all my equipment, but not a lot. I reenforced
the pants with carbon fiber where they mount and a number of other high stress
areas as well. The bottom (Showplanes) cowl was split to make it a one man
cowl. All those things added some weight, but were worth it to me. I have a Barrett
540X with cold air induction that puts out 290 hp. I flight tested to 3,000
lbs gross weight, but rarely fly it over 2,500 pounds.
