If you are going to fire polish you will need to ensure the piece doesn’t devitrify which will be the tendency after firing the surface against fiber paper. A very light sift of clear powder (as you suggest), an overspray, of a light sand blasting will all do the job.
My preferred way to finish fossil vitra is a light sand blasting and then slump. That gives you a nice matte finish that shows off the imagery nicely.
