I did my install last week and initially i had the same concern as you. What i did was to drench the clips in WD-40 and spray the painted area with WD-40 as well so when you slide into place it'll be easier. After the clip is in place i spray that whole part again with WD-40.
Also, as long as you clip it lightly it won't scratch off the paint to the base metal. I put the clip on and took it off the first time and touched the area by hand, the painted area was fine.
