Can anyone tell me what the surface area of a 601 is in square feet so I can estimate my paint/primer/alumaprep/alodine needs?

I know that the wing area is 132 sqft, but does this count upper and lower surfaces? same for the horizontal stab at 20sqft. Fuselage is 20'x6' =120' so.....

132+120+20= 272

ASSUMING that the square foot measurements do NOT include both upper and lower surfaces, multiplying all by 2  says total area for painting would be ~550 sqft.

Your thoughts?
