sealant over all surfaces of the floats, cover with a new color of MonoKote, and then cover the new color with
a layer of clear MonoKote.

Is my plan sound? Am I leaving anything out? Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Nothing will stick to cured silicone. Not even silicone. I worked W/sealants in comercial glazing & the ONLY application where silicone was (correctly) used was metal/glass joints.
