Paint DDR3 PCB?

[nichtJust]

Hey,

about a year ago I changed my CPU cooler from an AIO to an Air Cooler (BeQuiet DarkRock Pro 3) which sadly interfered with my Corsair Vengeance DDR3 ram (not the lp). So I decided to remove the "heat sink" which of course solved my problem, however it revealed the ugly green PCB.
I didn't mind it at first and I still don't, however the heat sink of my GTX 970 failed so I'm replacing it with an Arctic Accelero Xtrem IV (probably with liquid metal).
Since I have to do work on my PC anyways I decided to renew the thermal paste on my CPU as well (again probably liquid metal).
Now I'm thinking is it possible to Spray paint my Ram? I know I should get some non conductive spray first as a cover.
However are there any other ways? I haven't found any third party heat sinks for Ram that are low profile.
I'm quite handy with tinkering and stuff so I'm not afraid to do it, just wondering if there are any other options.
Thank you for any help

Yes, with non conductive spray paint it should be fine. Make sure you mask off the pins of the RAM or you will kill it.

paint is non conductive, you actually paint your cpu when applying liquid metal

maybe not kill it, but make harder to use on the first time

you can try one of these options 

 

also I wouldn't use liquid metal

I think it would make it very very hard to use.. haha it could also ruin the pins on the slot.
