I've always been curious about Plastidip. It would add more weight to the blades, and probably collect more dust, but there are some funky colors. I think this would be easier on fans that have removable blades.

 

What about that Krylon Fusion stuff? I think that's what it's called.

You will have to take the fans and motors apart, and then re dye it, but yes, you can dye fans a different color if you wanted to.

Would it effect the performance of the fans at all?

The fans will gain some extra weight, but I don't think you'll see that big of a performance difference, not if you're going to run them at lower speeds anyway.

There's loads of topics about dyeing fans on ltt forums already. If I remember correctly, there's only a few older Noctuas that can be painted. So do some ressearch before you buy anything
