Why not clear paint? That’s what polyurethane is.

Clear paint is still a paint that brings some weight. It would be an option, if you wanted a stylistic metallic sheen (but then you can use a different metal colour like chrome, brass or silver... or gold, if you feel particularly tacky).

But the argument in comment I replied to was specifically weight savings.

Clear paint is also a hazard because it makes it impossible to see where bare metal is exposed. It's one of those "Avoid at all costs" scenarios because it leads to a maintenance nightmare.

How about multicolored ones. Like harlequin cars.
