Painting luan for excellent finish: How to?

I'm building a new trade show booth using luan and 1x2 framing. I'm most likely liquid nailing and stapling the luan to the framing and adding some corner and cross bracing.

I need a nice flat surface to paint. Any ideas on:

what to fill any imperfections and staple indentations with?

what saw blade for cutting luan?

proper primer and paint? Need a very low gloss paint.

Get a Wagner power painter or roller and block sand and buff?

I'd love to cover each panel with a plastic countertop type material, but can't seem to find what I'm thinking of.

Here's a foam core and photography paper version of the booth. Will be duplicating but in a 6x16 format (10x13 here)
