White to Butterscotch first attempt at paint

I've got a partscaster that is white and I want to paint it butterscotch.
From searching the forum this is what I think I should do-

Rough up the white surface with sandpaper, apply Re-Ranch Fender Butterscotch and then work with a clear coat like Deft.

Am I going in the right direction?

If you dont have any dings I would N O T Rough up the white surface.
Just start with a 400 grit wet sand. get a can of clear shellac spray
that 1st just a few coats to seal up the old finish. Sand with 400 grit
and start your Re-Ranch adventure .

Rember to post pix IT'S THE LAW ! ! !
