And the actual painting the only real tips are too make sure you have more than enough primer, colour and lacquer.
Get a whole bunch of different grade sand paper, and just take everything really slowly, don't skip parts or rush in between coats prep makes perfect  |

To answer the question though,
The side strips are held on with pop clips, so you just pop them off ( you'll probably break the clips in the process as there pretty brittle - so get some new ones ready  )
I think the front bumper mould is held on with clips that slide into the bumper, not sure if theres also a bolt of two on that one, someone will let you know..
And for the rear I have absolutly no idea
The wing mirrors are held in with 3 torx screws behind the plastic cover on the door inslide the car |
