I have two nearly identical forks. The difference is color. One is a metalic

difference or they were welded differently or ? Thanks!

I doubt that you could put 10g of paint on a fork without having it
get mucked up with sags, runs, etc.


Actually you can put 10-20 grams on without any problems, going slow
and with a urethane clearcoat. Been there, done that. But you are
right in that it takes an effort and time to weight down a fork.

Clearly, they are only "nearly identical* in *appearance*; there must
be differences in materials, material thicknesses, or both.

Yep.

Orange.
Orange paint weighs less than blue paint since the photons it emits are more
energetic.

Only if they're Irish.

Chorizo.

Not in a Greek salad!

Dunno about 100g, but apparently different color paints do have different
weights. I'm not sure whether the weight per volume is different or it just
takes a thicker coat/more coats of some colors that others.

What I base these assumptions on is that I had a surf ski that came in a couple
pounds heavier than what I expected. The buider's explaination was color. He
said yellow was one of the heavier colors. Can't remember what he said the
lighter-weight colors were.
