Also, i'd suggest spraying with an airbrush and not a spray can. the spray can may be convenient, but as i learned painting a few of my newer models, the spray can does NOT leave a smooth surface. while the gloss may in fact come out smooth, the coat is uneven in coverage and may even cover some shallow details ( i nearly had this problem with one of my brass electric engines! needless to say, i had to do a lot of scrubbing).
its better to invest in or use an airbrush, since this creates a finer coat. Don't worry about the decal seam, even light coats will eventually cover it. I've found that the least amount of paint, the better, not only from an efficiency standpoint, but a aesthetic one.
