I always sand between coats, especially after the first coat. It smoothes the finish and helps the paint stick. It is also very important to clean away the dust after sanding. A tack rag is best, but a rag lightly dampened with a paint thinner works well too.
Check the instructions after that. Some paints suggest recording in a certain time frame. The directions may indicate to sand lightly between coats. Even though I have used in with good success in the past, I am not real familiar with Parker's.

Good morning, John~
As Jon says, definitely sand (I use 100 grit) and then wipe down with a rag soaked with paint thinner.
I use my orbital sander wherever I can - then by hand for edges and tough-to-get-to spots. Just scuff the surface - to give both mechanical "tooth" and a chemically "fresh" surface for the new paint.
All the best,
