Sorry i dont want to be rude but I know what a splash guard is, the drip guards are those black molding pieces over the driver and passenger windows that draw water away from them these.

why exactly would you remove them? jw they look to be in good condition? maybe they could use a coat of paint, but they look fine

you pull the rubber out of the guide, and remove the screws that hold it in.

I wouldnt be tooooo fast to pull off the guards if they are hard to do, I just painted my car and they were not in the way at all.. as long as you tape off good, you will be fine
The spray gun can get in there and work its magic

^I disagree. The more you can take off the car before painting it the better. It may seem fine right after you paint it, but a year or two later when the paint starts peeling you'll wish you took the extra 10-15 minutes out of your time to take them off. Just my $0.02, not trying to be a jerk or anything.
