Old post so not sure I should post. but yes flight control balancing is extremely important, yes it needs to be done if painted, the specs will be on the factory drawings and hopefully in the maintenance manual.
an improperly balanced flight control could flutter, and that can easily lead to a fatal accident, in flight break up kind.
The flight controls do NOT need to be balanced because thy are controlled by rods in the Meyers 200’s. The flight controls that are controlled by CABLES are required to be balanced.
