D, you got to be careful.. think about it 10 layers of paint near the edge of a masked window, it will soon start peeling out at the molding edge.
pay the extra few bucks to remove the moldings, you will be satisfied in the long run.
Did they give you this option?

not sure how that peral would look.
word of advice, REMOVE ALL MOLDINGS, TAKE OUT ALL THE WINDOWS. do what aliga says, its worth it. the paint job will come out cleaner and it will not chip off aroudn the window edges later on.
