Why bother removing your fascias prior to painting, you are likly to 
scratch the paint when you re-install it and it will cause you a 
load of hassell.
Unless it actually needs straightening then I would paint it on the 
car.
Make sure you use a primer, else the new paint may react with the 
old and have some weird effects :-)
Most body shops I have dealt with very rarely remove car parts to 
paint them , thay are just very good at masking bits off.

mine for repainting anyway, but I dont like the idea of breaking
