I can't help with the time (I'm still working on sanding the fuselage) but I
asked Kim Prout the same question about how much prep work is required on
the "gel coat" and the answer is that it is sufficient to sand the factory's
finish in those places where no filler is needed. Once the filled places
(those you mentioned) are ready for the final sanding, do the entire surface
with the same grit to allow whatever primer system you are using to "key"
onto the surface.

Subject: Finishing XS Wings
Hi all,
I am about to drag my XS wings down to the basement to fill and sand. I was
wondering from the folk who have gone before me how much work this is. I am
assuming that I only have to fill around the fairing, end caps and glue
joints, or do I have to prime and sand the whole wing? How many hours per
wing is this task likely to take.
Thanks,
