your standard aircraft will have a base colour with titled applied over it, but the special schemes have a considerable amound of paint done over the primer, hence more weight is added.

Nick your information is wrong.when special colours are painted theyprep the aircraft then thsy put masks on or tape the different paint areas off with paper.Then the paint is applied and once dry they then mask over that painted area.Then the next colour is applied and so the process goes on.
