It's is a good idea,unless if you can cover it properly* 

 

By the way,it will make the fans heavier and flatten any fancy surface on it.

Will the paint weight down the fan making it harder to spin?

Yes. Otherwise paint gets where you don't want it, or shouldn't put it.

And break warranty (at least if you have a MSI brand),
