In my experience C on a MkIII wing C it will take a week or so of dedicated work to completely finish it. Subtract a day of so for the paint C and I'd think you'd be around three days C and likely into the 4th day C to get to the Poly Spray being on.
A smaller wing C like an UltraStar C would be quite a bit easier. Maybe knock a day or two off.

You're right. Most of my computer time is because I'm taking a "fume break".
Even though I have a respirator C the job is intensive. Back to work....

Mike W:
A lot to be taken into consideration when it comes to length of time to complete a wing:
Degree of quality. Show quality means many hours of work with the iron and sand paper.
Paint scheme. A single color wing should take a couple days. On the other hand, a multicolor wing will take double or triple that amount of time to mask and flip flop the wing, unless you have a jig to roll it.
How much easier do you think an Ultrastar wing is to cover and paint than the mkIII?

My comparison between a MkIII wing and an UltraStar wing is ASSUMED that were of similar paint design.
Besides C Bill asked "not including paint".
An UltraStar has less ribs C and many less half-ribs C I'm pretty sure. This is my thinking why an UltraStar may be a "little" less time. Obviously (!) C a fancy paint US wing can take two to three weeks C just for one wing C whereas a basic painted MkIII can be done in a very busy week.
Clearly C fastening the edges C and some other tasks probably won't be any quicker. That's why I suggested if a MkIII wing takes 5 days C a UltraStar may take well into the 4th day.

My first thought was wing panel size. I believe they are the same. Then I remembered the mkIII has twice as many ribs and false ribs.
