if the tanks 8.4M across. And 45M high, if you applied two coats (probably 3, as white does not cover well. Maybe even 4 over a dark cour) then your looking at 18.4 ten litre pales of paint.
They average at 12 square metres per litre.
1 ten litre pale averages at around 11kg.
(Depending on manufacturer, depends on volume solids. This is the bit left behind when the water evaporates) .... Lets say 50% volume solids. Some more some less
Then we are left with approximately 100kg of paint weight on the fuel tank.
Which is allot I suppose for a rocket. But nothing in the big scheme of things.
