What type of can for Painting motherboard heatsinks white?

[Aytex]

Don't really care if matte or glossy just any will work that is white. 

 

Paul's hardware used self etching primer but I couldn't find any in white so if anyone could find something similar in white that would be awesome

For heatsinks you can use regular spray paint, the self etching primer is to help promote adhesion which can help by putting on a very light coat before your top coat. I usually recommend Rustolum as it's one of my go to brands of spray paints.

Plasti-dip isn't a problem on motherboard heatsinks as it's capable of at least 100C.

Yes that is good, just make sure to take off the heatsinks and to mask off certain parts of it like the bottom so the thermal pads still make good thermal contact.

 

If your interested I have a general guide on it here under Motherboard and RAM Painting:
