trim on rear quarter windows will be attached to the sealer holding the window in normally.

yep, this is true
just make sure that you have scotched it down well and proper, the paint should look dull, make sure there are no shiny bits and be sure to clean the surface thouroughly before spraying (panel wipe and some kitchen roll will be great for that)

that soft edge masking tape isent that for like the doors and stuff|?? like you put a strip of it all round the door then when you close it makes kind of a seal to stop paint getting into your doors and into the car
