Not sure it may stain it ? dont know how easy it will be to get off either should be able to get all the info you need from paint suppliers
if not a good quality double sided tape like m3 might work

If you put them on with tigerseal - they won't be coming off again.

You will probably break the skirts trying to pull them off, so you would need to cut along the bonding.
This will leave such a mess, the sills will need rubbed down and repainted.

Can remove Tigerseal with heatgun and fishing line.
Rub down with white spirit to remove excess!

Have you thought of the double-sided pads sold to fit numberplates?
