Its not quite that easy when you take in to account the ungulating fins, there is a lot more surface area there then the sum of the outer surfaces. Remember this will be powdercoated so it will get in there.

Well good luck figuring that out...why is it so important to know? If it's the powdercoating shop they should only need the outside dimensions for a quote.
