Take them off and get the wheel rebalanced once it's painted.
-Painted weights will look stupid IMO -It will be harder to get the weights off when the wheels do get rebalanced, you don't want to piss of the guy fixing your car  -When the wheels are rebalanced you will have unpainted spots where the old weights were --------------------  |
