One blog I saw stated that a car's typical paint job weighs about 8 pounds. Another discussion stated an estimate of about 600 pounds. I am thinking of removing all the paint from my car as an "ecomod." Has anyone thought about this?
IMHO, your time would be better invested in any activity you can think of other than this. You're never gonna see an ROI on this project, unless you just enjoy driving a car that looks like it was parked in the carport of a house that burnt down

Weight loss, unless it's extreme, would need some pretty sophisticated equipment to even measure the miniscule gains.
