That's not how the English language works at all. You can't use a qualifier from a later sentence in a past sentence, they are separate statements, you are expecting people to read mind in demanding that.
I didn't cut anything out as its simply not present and as a separate sentence it's a stand-alone statement.
Citation required as I've already supplied two sources that state quite the opposite.
Its also not how racecar design works, almost every race car I've come across is build below minimum weight and then use ballast to met the weight cap while allowing for fine-tuning of weight distribution. I literally have dozen of books that cover this and its the norm rather than the exception. You seem to be taking the origin of the Silver Arrows as if its the norm if that was the case no team would actually use wraps, as they weight more than paint and have to be applied over a painted finish (primer as a minimum). Nor is racecar paint applied anything like as thickly as road car paint, the weight difference is
1.5kgs vs 20 to 30 kgs, oh look another source describing exactly the same process.
The process of Primer, paint and topcoat is exactly the same, the only difference is in the standard and quality of the work, however that standard can also be found in road cars as well, with the F40 being a good example, with its paint layers being so thin you could still make out the
kevlar weave of the bodywork through it.
None of which changes the fact that solid paint does not look like plastic at all.
I do also note, that once again, your claims are being backed up by (checks notes) absolutely nothing at all, while mine (even with my background) are all supported by sources.
