I say do the repairs and finish the rough repairs with a little wet sanding. The design isn't flawless to begin with so over smothing and sanding will only make it look like a nasty repo or overly processed by a heavy handed painter with too much Krylon at his/ her side. I would also put down a slightly 'rough' matt finish then recoat her with a low gloss or even a flat.
Worked wonders on mine.
