Well done. I like it ... a lot :)

Nice video, just curious, did the paint add weight to the mini that would make it weigh more than the 249 gms. Also I'm in the New Brunswick area of New Jersey. Where are you in Jersey?
Hillside come on down would love to show you the operation
Didn’t think of the weight need to get a scale and follow up

Very nice! I have custom painted several Phantoms and Inpires over the years.
However, my personal MM will remain as is out of box. Something about that Ultra lite 249g Badge on the side. :)
 
Interesting, have never weighed dry paint.
I guess solvents would be evaporated and make the wet paint weight that much less.

Wonder what a wrap would do ? Suspect that would make one over the magic mark.

Good exercise, as that Krylon looks like it might be heavier than a thin base coat / clear coat.

Hmm, could be a good aftermarket service painting mini as a way to make them more visible, or customised.

good point anyone here weigh a wrapped mini?
 
so 8.8oz is < 250gm ? Mmm not so sure . . .?

249 gm = 8.783 oz or 8.8
249.5 gm = 8.800 oz or 8.8
250 gm = 8.818 oz. or 8.8
250.5 gm = 8.836 oz. or 8.8
251gm = 8.854 oz or 8.9

pedantic perhaps but the regulations regarding 250 gms expect it to be measured in gms not oz .

I know it’s all trivial but can you measure in gms just out of interest ?

Valid point...I need a gm scale
 
Make sure that the paint used does not attack the plastic. ABS is known to be attacked by several types of paints making small cracks that go deep inside plastic. As the result parts will snap under stress.
