I wrote up a DIY on this. It only goes into painting the little covers but it should give you enough info to get started.

It can be, there is no doubt about that. But it's nice when you get that final product on and it looks so nice!!!!
G/L if you need any help PM me your questions.

About an hour. But in the end I think the time taken here is worth the effort.
And taking the tape off once it is painted it a task too. If you aren't careful you can pull the paint off with the tape.

Top side only. You can paint the bottom if you want to, but it is basically a waste of paint, clear, and time.
