Do you mean your side skirts? and what kind of car do you have? I have a 2001 GSR and i had my side skirts painted, they took them off and it looked like i had a rail with a bunch of holes in it. I dont know if that helps you but thats my knowledge

If your side moldings are black, you might consider getting them painted. I had my stock side skirts and side moldings painted body color for $225, still looks good 1 year later.

is there any adhesive on the strips? Because i believe i can paint them myself if I can remove them and put them back on without a problem. Since they are rubber, would I need to use primer?

i got side swapped in my old parking lot and it gouged out my rr 1/4 panel trim piece. i scuffed it up with scotch brite, cleaned with thinner, primed and painted and all good, you can get a way with just scuffing, cleaning and painting just fine, just make sure to clean/strip all wax etc... off before you spray
