Overall weight is one concern. Control balance based on weight changes is another more important one.

Additionally, when you strip the old paint you need to exercise caution regarding what you use to strip the paint, damage to underlying surfaces, corrosion potential in faying surfaces, and ensuring a thorough inspection of the underlying structure is performed prior to recovering...which may include something much more thorough than a simple look-see.
