I installed the door edge guards on my Acura TL a few years back as well as on my friends Civic. They can be a little difficult to work with as they are stiff painted metal/aluminum strips molded to match the contours of the door. My advice is to take your time and use a rubber mallet. You might also want to find a second person to help keep the bottom portion of the door edge guard in place while you tap the top portion of the guard onto the door edge.
Either way, it's not too difficult and you shouldn't need touch up paint if you are careful.
