You can't iirc, the previous gen noctua fans you could but the current gen you can't without breaking them. I could be completely wrong though. 

So, mask of the blades and paint the body black and later mask the body and paint the blades?

Painting them will severely increase the noise and the fans will be completely different from how they are now.  

See my Build here!

Intel 6700k -  Strix GTX 1080Ti - Corsair AX760 - Corsair Dominator 16GB 3000MHz - ASUS Maximus VIII Hero

 

Seagate Barracuda 1TB -  Samsung 120GB 840 - Samsung 840 EVO 250GB - Corsair H100i - Corsair Air 540 White -

 

Corsair AF120 - 2x Noctua NF-F12 - 3 x Noctua NF-S12

 

 Dell S2417DG - Dell UH2515H

That is the only way really for the Noctua fans but be sure to apply very thin layer of paint. Most don't recommend it can affect some of the design details on the Noctua fans or airflow characteristics. If you wanted a black version of the fans there is the LTT edition of the NF-A14 fans available, with replaceable rubber corners:
