Is it possible to spray paint the wires shown here: http://www.v1tech.com/product-category/customextensions/

 

I want blue wires but they don't have the color.

Yes, you CAN spraypaint the cables but you shouldn't.

The braid will soak up the paint, for starters, making the cables more rigid. Once the paint cures it might start popping and flaking, potentially throwing dry paint shards all over your components.

Then there's the part where you can't clean the paint off of the cables and the part where it might end up looking like crap.

A better and most likely safer alternative would be to either look at other manufacturers for cables that suit your color needs or braiding them yourself

As mentioned it's not recommended since the paint is inflexible and will crack/flake off. It would be best to just get cables with the sleeving combo or color of choice.

There is such paint that is rubberized, and will be flexible and move with the cables even after it dries instead of cracking like normal paint. The paint will still add some stiffness to them that you may not want in the end, so you should definitely consider buying other cables.

 

Here is an option, I've used this before: https://www.awarehousefull.com/plasti-dip-aerosol-spray-11oz-flex-blue-11252-6/
