Are you talking about wraps or paint?

If you are talking paint, it will depend on type of paint and thickness, sprayed or dipped.

Two coats of Bohning lacquer will add about 10 grains, plus or minus 1-2 grains.

Yes paint. I know there are several variables to consider but I thought some arrow artist like Badger would be able to give me a low and high range.  Thanks again.

I use Bohning paints for dipping.  I use 1 heavy dip and when put on a scale,  it comes out like Orion said, right around 10 grns or so.

When trying to get a matched set of wood arrows. A full dip of gasket lac will also come in at 10 grns.
