am i missing something obvious here?

Since they are curved on the edges, you could theoretically do it with them still on the car, but just to ensure you get maximum coverage without any spill over on the car... it's best to just remove them. Also, in case the paint decides to run, and lastly so the button doesnt get stuck by paint in the hole. It's just easier to paint them separately.
