so if i was to do acrylic with clear top coat......do i need to buff back the acrylic before the clear goes on?

If you want it to look great then yes, It only takes a quick rub with 600. Clear will keep it shiny for longer but eventually detieriorates, goes yellow and peels off which is terrible. The straight acrylic just takes a polish bring it back shiny until the paint is gone of course.
