All that paint must weigh tons, I would like to know how much weight in paint is used on the Airbus A380.

Interestingly, in a Boeing 747, the air inside of it weighs more than 2,000 pounds! I fly an airplane even larger than the Boeing 747 but I'm not sure how much of our gross weight is air.

Depends on the paint scheme, for example American Airlines uses very little paint. But on the average, it takes about 1400 lbs of paint.

125 gal of paint at the weight of average of 10 lbs per gal equal approximately 12500 lbs

If it uses 125 gallons at 10 lbs/gallon, it'd be 1,250 lbs, not 12,500 as earlier posted.
But once it dried, as the other post pointed out, it would weigh less.
