A buddy and I built a wing something like this, as mentioned above, with tree layers of carbon fibre cloth over the balsa sheeting. On the last coat we put on a sheet of mylar plastic sheet over the cloth, then vacuum bagged it. It left such a smooth finish when the mylar was peeled off that it took no finishing other than roughing it up a bit to make the paint bond to it.
