Cards in question:
Let's say I put the paintjob on Luke and then target Luke with Sabine's action. Would he keep the icons if he sheds the enhancement or would the blast and tactics fall off when the affiliations fall off?

I believe precedent is that board state is checked at the resolution of the effect and the icons/edge would stick around until the end of the phase based on affiliation(s) of the targeted unit at the time Sabine resolved her Action (extrapolating from Precision Fire not applying to units that enter the engagement after it is played).
So yes, Sabine + Custom Paint Job + BtS Luke makes a very strong combo.

As Sabine says, "Until the end of the phase". You've already done the action that allowed him to gain a combat icon. There is nothing to fall off here.
Sabine's set goes really good with Core Yoda, Endor Luke and Qu Rahn. Deck's internal synergy rating: 9000.
But can you make it over 9000?

Separate post to avoid clutter in the answer: for Sabine to stop applying when Luke was no longer a Rebel and Smuggler unit, she would need to read:
Action:... Until the end of the phase:
* while it is [Jedi], it gains [unit damage].
* while it is [Rebel], it gains [tactics].
* while it is [S&S], it gains [blast].
