So I have a bunch of Swiftech Helix 140mms lying around waiting for my re-build, and one part of that was going to be painting the blades from white to red due to the color theme. I've seen a few guides on how to do it and I've already practiced on an old and loud Thermaltake fan from who knows when and re-assembled without much issue.
My question is regarding the paint itself, every project I've seen uses a rather standard spray paint with even layers etc.
Has anyone tried Plasti-Dip? Reason I ask is I'm fickle and prone to changing things just because, and I quite like these fans and would prefer to not have to buy them all over again or keep repainting (that does add up in thickness) the fan blades to change colors. Plasti Dip seems like an alternative but I'm not entirely sure how it coats on and such and if it'd have problems in the type of environment I'm about to subject it to. Worst case scenario I see is that the skin peels off while the fan is running and just gums it up in a weird way that breaks the motor or the blades.
