I'm looking to downsize my rig and significantly reduce the noise output, and thus i'm constructive a black and green build. As a part of this i'd like to spray paint the rings for Corsair SP120 fans a color of green close to the one that Razer uses. Any recommendations regarding paint brand and specific color would be helpful.

plasti dip. its non-conductive, easy to apply, and is very forgiving in that it can be peeled off once dry. allowing you to go back if you screw up

Much appreciated! Sadly corsair doesn't package more colors with the SP120's or even sell them separately.

thats at least its removable and easily painted. with plastidip you likely wont need a white base coat because its essentially rubber, just get it good and layered

Plasti dip is supposed to be best. You should read the title though, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

As mentioned plasti-dip is a good option for spray paint, some good options are Rustoleum or automotive paints like DUplicolor, which tend to have better color selection.

Thanks, i'll take a look at all three. Do you know if it's advisable to wear a mask or anything when using the stuff? Honestly never used spray paint before.

Always advisable to wear protection, and to do it in a well-ventilated area.

 

And when you are doing it, doing multiple light coats will give you a better result.
