I'm not familiar with vinyl dye, but one my paint it says that sanding isn't needed. Maybe you could check there. I don't think you ever NEED to do it, but your results will probably turn out better if you do sand.The title says it all. I'm using vinyl dye to paint my guns if that matters.

If your going to paint orange parts that is another story. It is some kind of other plastic that is hard to paint and you have to sand that extra. The cocking handle of the Nite Finder is one example. I always see the paint chip off of that because it is a moving part and it's made of the orange plastic. Use something like 100 grit for orange and moving parts.

IF the surface of the plastic is very smooth, you will get a much deeper color setting if you do some light sanding. A very glossy surface plastic also has a tendency to allow the vinyl dye to bead up really quickly.

Ok thanks everybody, I appreciate the input. I have decided to sand my gun with something higher than 400 grit, although i still am slightly unsure how to go about doing it. How am i supposed to sand the hard to reach places and all the grooves and what not?
Try, and then if you fail, try again. True story.
