I understand your dilema.  There is no problem with flying in primer.  I build a new bird, flew in primer for two years then painted it.  I thought I was done with primer the first time but as time went on. it shrank and there were interference problems and other minor things like you mentioned.  Fix them then clean and sand thoroughly and do your finish primer and seal coat prior to color.  I think that is the preferable way to get a top finish that will last and not shrink.  If after a few years you begin to see the glass weave refracting through the clear coat, do not be surprised.  This s a glass plane after all and 99% of the admirers won't even notice.  Only you and a fussy paint expert who knows.  And besides as we get older and you fly for three years you won't even care let alone remember.
