Not sure if plastidip will work, but painting it with non-removable paint will probably void you warranty.

What about Sharpe*ing the non Circuitry?

Negative. Painting PCBs is a bad idea. All paints have solvents that will eat through the PCB.

Warranty will be void, and when you paint pcbs like mobos and such you ALWAYS run the risk of bad things happening. But many people have painted their motherboards with plasti-dip and other non-conductive paints and had no issues as well. I am always for the fine details so I say go for it - but please understand the risks if you attempt to do so.

As for using a sharpie... please dont - that always looks like a**
