How to paint a body part?

Okay, I wanna do some ghetto stuff to my car and paint a piece of the body work. I have it removed and was wondering what the best way to go about it. It currently has a body color finish on it (red) and the end result is I want to get a gloss black, it's plastic.

What should I do? I'm assuming:

1) lightly sand it to take off the current gloss coating
2) primer it
3) coat(s) of gloss black
4) coat(s) of clearcoat

Anyone have a recommendations on spray paint brands? I'll probably just swing by Kragen or something.... any advice appreciated.
