While we  are fine tuning John's post, I should mention that his calculation 
(as he  states) assumes 100% solids, certainly not the case for most 
polyurethane  two-part paints.  Probably they run something like 30% VOC, so 
that  2.25 ounces of applied paint probably results in about 1.5 ounces of  
weight after the volatiles have evaporated.



Put another way:
 
Those evaporative gases become global warming gases and the Ross Icefield  in 
Antarctica breaks open, all for the vanity of Peter's paddle. Shocking!
 
A Very Big Wink,
