I'm sure there is a thread around that already has gone over this, but I will help you out.

Do you mean full debadging or just take them off to paint them? If you mean debadging then you will need to get the holes filled and repaint the trunk. There are 5 holes behind the 'Mazda' badge, and two holes behind the flying 'M'. And on the front bumper there is two holes, and yes they will need to be filled and the bumper repainted.

If your just taking them off to paint them then no.

The holes are about 1/8". Not too big, usually a good body shop will weld the holes, sand and paint the area. Unless your good at body work I wouldn't imagine it being an easy tasks. I'm not sure on how much a body shop would charge, I would bet it will be more than 400 bucks.
