Total surface area?

I'm getting ready to paint the exterior of my 818R and was wondering if any knows, or has calculated the surface area of the body. I need to order paint, hardeners, reducers, etc.. and the stuff is quite pricey so I don't want to order more than I need.

It takes me a gallon of base and clear to do a roadster including inside of doors plus undersides of hood and deck lid. Haven't done an 818 but I can not imagine it taking significantly less.

I also used a bit less than a gallon for my roadster, but as you said, that's both sides of the doors, hood and truck. The 818R will only be the top sides of all panels and there are many cut outs.

I'm thinking 3 quarts spray-able.
