Plastidip would work very well in this case. Just make sure you remove the shroud before you paint anything so you don't have any problems. Oh yeah, you should check out getting it powder coated if you want to keep a near perfect finish for a very long time.

I like the color scheme of Noctua fans. Deal with it. Forget about the bad memories of the past.

Forget about the bad memories of the past, take the good ones along with you through the present, and look forwards to the good things that will come in the future.

And is there any way to change the colour of the LED

I believe that the LEDs are white and the green is just a plastic thing on it.

do you know if there would be any way to repaint the plastic but still have it transparent

Um... I'm not too sure. @ has done a similar mod iirc.

IMO this works better on All-Metal, not so much on plastic. 

 

To reiterate, I don't mean the looks.. I mean the longevity for the most part.

 

Plastidip would work just fine, and look great.

 

And I never thought about this, but someone mentioned powder coat.. Can you actually do this on a GFX Card's shroud?  :blink:

Yes, you can. Powder coating a video card is just like powder coating anything else.

Interesting... Noted.

 

Might actually be something I myself will consider doing after a bit of research.

 

So, thanks!
