I've used them before just to write on and didn't notice any difference in flight.
I didn't paint the whole disc, so if that is your intention, my guess is that it would change the flight.

my question is about spray painting disc. Not exactly throwing 3 coats all over the thing but logo/stencils and whatnot. I sorta was talking about this in the other thread and figued I could discuss it here a bit better.
I honestly dont care about the specific rule book and tournament competitions, I just play for fun, and would like another medium for my stencils.
Just for discussion, I wish this specific rule was written with more speculation as to what a "detectable thinkness" is
"Discs excessively sanded or painted with a material of detectable thickness are illegal."
A light coating of mud or dirt/dust on a disc could be counted as the same thickness as a coat of paint. (im sure theres a rule about mud) But I could see if we were talking about a thick latex or a texturing paint, something that could be peeled off in large portions. But a dusting of krylon cant make that much of a difference. To get paint off you have to sand it which means its of little thickness. As for flight characteristics its not as much difference as a chip or gash. Especially because the actual factor logos and markings have a "detectable thickness" to a certain extent. If you can rub them off with goo gone then that means its on top of the surface and pigmented/dyed into the material.
Which by the way seems debatable too. If you were to dye a disc and let that disc sit in the dye and allow it to soak up into the material, you'd be changing the weight/volume of the disc to a certain extent.

That's a cool-looking disc. Props on the little character dude!
