Mine looked like they were sanded smooth. Proper preping includes sanding, at all stages until you get to the color and clear coats.Comment

Take them off to get them painted. Works better, besides, they just pop off anyways. Depends on where you get the work done on how much you'll pay, depedons on labor rate. We charge around like 250 for all the mouldings, possibly more, its been awhile.
Read above.
We won't guarantee the paint work on mouldings at our shop though, but I have yet to see a comeback for them. The primary reason is this, durring manufacturing of the mouldins, companies use chemicals called release agents. Consider them 'pam' for plastic. These chemicals prevent the moulding from sticking to the mould they are being created from. These chemicals sometimes stay in the actual moulding, and this could affect the adheasion on the paint. The other reason is that the mouldings are textured, which can also affect paint adheasion.
Me personally, I havent had one issue with mine.. so *shrug*
