You can paint the plastic parts no sweat as long as you don't get any on the pins

I think he applied the nail polish to the tops of the capacitors; notice that the red is very glossy and on some there are spots of black

well, when I was painting valvecovers on a few friends' motors, we put Vaseline over the parts we didnt want the paint to cover or hurt. let the paint dry, then took a rag and wiped it off

I wouldnt advise painting period. just deal with the factory color scheme

I'm pretty sure I saw a while back, an instance where a guy painted a MoBo silver (he covered the pci slots and whatnot up I think, and just painted the pcb), and it worked fine. I really don't think I could find it, but I'm sure it's possible.
