Proseal is paintable. Not sure you will be able to sand it too well as it remains flexible.
Where your gearlegs exit the fuse should not be a factor as you will be installing gearleg fairings over this area.
With your steps, you can lay a fillet of material around the edge of the step mounting plate (if you are mounting the steps per plans) and then paint over that.
Hope this helps.
I disagree with not needing to seal gear leg penetrations, etc. Even with fairings over them they will still leak air. In fact at high A.O.A air actually gets forced from the wheel pants up through the gear leg fairings and into the cockpit (If the openings aren't sealed).
