Yep just slide them away from which ever end of the car they are situated
Like the front door ones slide towards the rear and the rear slide to the front
Pull hard they may be slightly stiff

Personal taste mate if you want a smooth look I suggest you sand the strip smooth
Hope that helps
There's a couple of colour coding guides in the guides section mate knock yourself out

Pretty much that way the paint has a secure and solid base to fix too other wise it peels off like vynil stickers

To be honest when I paint anything of mine I leave the primer for 15 mins until touch dry If you do it in thin enough layers all should be fine especially in this warm weather unless it's humid then leave it longer where if you have thick layers you may have touch dry on the surface but underneath it's still wet and when you handle
It you mark the paint with finger prints and the like

I did 15 mins between each coat, then waited like an hour/two hours between different layers. Was a hot day though.
Did that on my alloys about a year ago. Still clean up perfectly.
