PE is almost always painted unless on a manufacturer's model where their intent is to demonstrate the extra hoohaas provided.
I've found it easier to paint the PE while still attached to the fret, cut, bend, apply, and hand-touchup any cracks/nicks.
Others prefer to cut, bend, paint, & attach.
Whatever works best for you.
