Hi,
I have a general question as to what's the best way to repair a paint job. I botched a gloss coat with runs, plus the paint showed underlying scratches in the plastic that I missed. I sanded out the glitches and now I wonder if I can just respary the gloss over the sanded spots, or should reprimed the whole model and do a whole new gloss coat?
Any and all suggestions would be welcome.

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.” - John 3:16-17
I would try a clear coat for sure. Beats stripping and repainting.
I just had a similar issue where I put down a 3 color cammo on an 1/48 BP defiant. Gloss went on fine but after letting it dry I put on an ochre filter that pooled all over the model. I let it dry for 3 days and came back and wiped it down with turpinoid and it cleaned it up a bit. Still not perfect but way better. Actually the side effect was a bit of a weathering affect. Go figure.
Thanks,

Me too. Not guaranteed to work but a good chance it will I think so might as well try it. Maybe you won't have to strip and if you do you, well, you do.

Testing on sacrificial models is always a good idea too.
Modeling is an excuse to buy books.
