Square Footage? Paint question...

Here's what I posted on the other site based on CT's Build.
Unfortunately, I think I found a mistake in CT's Wrap Dimensions PDF. When I was checking pieces to see if they'd fit in my Ford Edge, I noticed what looked like a couple errors, most likely due to miscopying.
By my measurement, the hood center panel is 57" wide and 64" long and each outer hood panel is approximately 24" wide and 62" long. When combined, the hood is probably closer to 34 sf.
I also didn't see a measurement for the roll-bar covers which I estimated at 3 sf total (rounded up).
I have attached an annotated PDF showing my measurements in the Comments.
My total sf numbers are below -
All 3 Hood panels - 34 sf
Rear Top panel - 16 sf
Two upper front wings - 4 sf
fin - 2 sf
side panels - 8 sf
Interior panels - 4 sf
mirror panels - 2 sf
roll-bar covers 3 sf
Total area - approx 73 sf
all dimensions rounded up.
If anyone thinks I made any mistakes, please let me know.
I also attached a PDF file with comments about the measurements. The file must be downloaded to read the comments that contain the size info above. -

If anyone has trouble reading my comments in the PDF file, please let me know and I will mod the PDF so my measurements appear as labels instead of comments.

just read this.... BKL is the "Man" and knows his stuff.
For paint......
Base color 1 qt sets will do all the painted panels.On custom paints:
Base color 1 qt.
Top coat... 1-1/2 qts.Clear... 1-1/2 qts.

Is that right? Just quarts? So a gallon is overkill? Or overspray?

Lots of overspray with gallons!!!!

Remember, paint is usually reduced 1:1 which makes 1 qt. actually two qts. Sprayable
