Default Door edge stuff...

That junk thats on the door and fender. There are holes underneath correct? and if there are would it look ok to paint them body color till i can afford to take them off and get holes filled and get the car repainted?

I think it has both an adhesive as well as clips that hold the mouldings in place.

There are clips that have to be released from the inside of the doors -- very carefully. And there is adhesive tape that has to be removed and replaced as well. I'd only take them off to paint them professionally (i.e. properly blended & automotive paint, applied by airgun, etc.)

If you've got the equipment to do it right, you can save a decent amount of money...

They can be painted quite inexpensively and easily. Imroves overall look of car IMHO.
