It depends on what you are trying to paint.

Sorry if my English is not perfect, but it isn't my native language :)

I can't really comment on how difficult/easy it might be to paint, but keep in mind that painting things will always adversely affect your temps since paint is an insulator, and a pretty good one at that, depending on the type/thickness of it. So just keep that in mind when you're choosing what to paint.

 

Oh, and don't paint your cpu  ;)

Have you allready painted the case? If not, well thats the only thing i recommend painting by yourself. You could paint ssd, hard drive and ram. I would leave this to pros,...

There goes the warranty, and also if you paint wrong parts of components, you can destroy them.
