I dont think you'll need to worry about the weight What does a coat of paint weigh..?

But if your determined.. just go to Ace or Oreilys and get the spray-on paint stripper.
It comes w/ a spray bottle. Spray on, wait like ten minutes, and wipe-off. Then go back and sand off any thing that is left.

If he strips down to bare metal won't he have to etch the metal or something to get the primer to stick?
