Painting my RAM purple

Go to solution Solved by Lord_Karango17,

plastidip is a matte rubbery coating. If it turns out bad, you can just peel it off... Pretty forgiving stuff, and lets you remove the paint if you outgrow it/ want another color.

 

I had some blaze green on my ram, and it was fine. Doubt any part of your pc (except maybe the heatsinks, but you should not be painting those anyways) gets too warm for plastidip

In the next few days I will be buying the rest of my parts for my new rig. I decided to go with a black/ purple colour scheme. Since my case (Phanteks Enthoo Luxe) has purple LED's I am good there. And my Corsair H110i GT has support for RGB colouring. But I wanted to go a step further and paint my RAM. I'm using 32GB of G.Skill DDR4-2400 RAM. I saw a tutorial on how to paint and remove the heat spreaders, but I don't know what paint to buy. I thought maybe you guys could help me. My requirements are that it's purple and will work with what I have. If you could post the links that would be great too.

Cheers :D

Plastidip is a popular PC modder's paint. No idea if it's in purple, though, or where to get it.

New to Star Citizen? Look no further!

Something that can reliably withstand temps up to 50 celsius, everything else (matte/glossy, etc) is pretty much your choice.

Any unknown button should be pressed even number of times.

wal Mart. Lol

 If I can find it on amazon I will buy it.

Seeing how it says "Rubber Handle" I'm pretty sure it's matte.

It doesn't say anything about the temperature it can handle. My system will be well cooled but I don't want this paint to melt.

I was planning on doing the heat sinks :/ I won't be OCing the RAM and my system will be well cooled.

Plasti-dip as said by others is a rubber based matte coating you can peel off, for the Rustoluem spray paint the ultra cover 2x is not bad works really well but as usual remove all stickers and mask the back where the TIm makes contact with the RAM chips.
