You should get the JDM R18A1 cover. I bought mine from japanparts dot com and thats the one I'm going to paint!
you don't have to per se, but it won't look as good if you don't.
a light sanding with 1000grit like he said will work very nicely.
I used krylon fusion paint for plastic, and didn't sand it and it looked good.
I haven't run into any problems with the paint running or melting or anything under my engines temperature, so i'd assume its safe enough.

anywho...
i recommend sanding, for better quality in the end
