1) I had it painted
2) A Nissan painter that is also Lexus Certified
3) The Engine cover is also paint. The only thing I would do different is sand it smooth next time.
4) So far so good only about 30 miles so far though without heavy boost.
5) Yes 2 coats of clear
6) I had him paint a bunch of other items (Full Zele Kit/Fenders) so im not real sure.
I think you can do to much blue if your not careful. So if I were you I would keep some polished/black areas along with the MBlue under the hood.
