I have some Ripjaws X I want to remove the heatsinks off to paint. I have a few questions, will I need some heat-resistant paint for the heatsinks? And are the thermal pads on the chips reusable, if not, where could I get some?

There are candy color paints that are transparent and look very much like anodization.

I've used single-edged razor and pry between the heatsink and chip, never between the heatsink and circuit board. A heat gun set to low temperature or a hair dryer is still a must.
