Is there any "gold" coolers about that is GOOD or can you "spray paint" one without degrading it's cooling capabilities "too much"/"at all" 

anyone got experience with this?

Unless you're a professional, do not spray paint coolers. The paint could heavily affect the cooling and noise levels.

And getting a cooler made of gold is both expensive and impractical.

hence why it should just be gold colored ;-)

 

so if there already exist one I am interested OR if you can paint it without degrading cooling too much or at all

depending on your case, would black/gold combo work? Or just painting top of cooler? Like Dark Rock 3 or Master Maker Cooler Air 8 or whatever CoolerMaster calls it.
