If so, do I colour convert each image BEFORE stacking or AFTER?
Does it also limit me to stacking IN MAXIM or can I stack the RAW, (mono) images in DSS then colour convert it after?

The only thing you can do with bayer FITS is basic calibration; dark subtraction, flat fielding. You can't do anything that will destroy the bayer matrix such as resampling, scaling or even star registration.
So debayer should be your first step before stacking. Debayer will give you color FITS to stack. Or you can debayer to mono R, G & B then stack the channels separately, then recombine to color the masters, which is what I prefer to do.
