Habu 32 new paint job

So, I got tired of my Habu32 looking like all the others out there. So, I stripped the paint on the fuselage, stripped the monokote off of the wings/stabs, fiberglassed them, and repainted. While I was at it I added a nose gear door, and doors for the mains as well. The Paint is duplicolor GM metallic grey, and Duplicolor "Mirage" red/blue (the chameleon paint that changes from red to blue depending on your viewing angle) The mirage effect didnt show up too well in the photos, but it looks great in person. May try taking a few snapshots in direct sunlight, might accentuate the effect.. it is defintely affected by the strength of light in the environment...

How much weight did that all add, if any? It looks great!

Little to no weight gain.. Maybe a few ounces. Remember, I stripped it bare. Honestly I didn't weigh before and after since I run an 8s unit in it, I was not overtly concerned about a little weight gain..
