My 2013 Tarmac Sport SL2 weighs in at 9.2kgs - what Tarmac have you got!
Does your Tarmac have some Zipp or other non-standard wheels on it?

If you paint outside a dust proof ( un-controlled area ) your paint job will get contaminated ( flies love fresh paint ) as does dust . Your paint job will be like sand paper !
Spraying solvent based paint and running an electric fan to take away the over spray could see you taking off about 200 miles at the speed of a jet fighter that way ----------->

Well I thought my steel 531 is sensibly light but seeing these weights it now sounds built for two.

My Cervelo is under 7 kg, which is good because my belly is over 7kg

It's an Olympic edition sl4 running zipp 202 firecrest, Di2, carbon cranks, carbon spider, carbon chainring and cassette, carbon brakes and carbon bolts everywhere non structural, and a bit more carbon in the places not mentioned...You can see it in my albums if your interested.
It's had a couple of changes since it weighed 13lb so its probably a little under that now.
