Is it possible to paint your fans white?

Windows95

I think i kinda fucked up by buying the define R6 black instead of blackout. I liked the black with white touches of the R6 black, but realized that since I will be using Silent Wings 3, the case fans are now black, and also the CPU fan is a noctua 15 chromax black, the result is that everything is black except the white pci lanes thing, the drive mounts, and i think thats about it. It lacks the fans being white for the nice black and white touch. Can I paint the fans?

 

Alternative would have been full black case with everything black, but im not sure about that, well right now its too late since i already bought it anyway. I wish noctua and bequiet released white fans too.

 

Funniest part of this all is that my R6 doesnt even have a window, but I plan on eventually buying a window panel and switch it up if i get bored of the clean closed look (or put it back on if i decide that having a window is too distracting)

Don't.

It can throw out of the balance of the blades

You can paint the frame and even the support brace for the fan motor and blades, just not the blades themselves unless your skill is so good, you can evenly paint them without making any weight difference after the paint job
