As far as I know, Painting the heatsink shroud shouldn't yield higher temps. Just make sure your paint doesn't burst into flames at 90C.

It would be a nice touch to a custom computer, especially in a case where the shroud is visible.

That looks easy enough.
If that shroud comes off easy, I say go for it.
I sprayed my dvd drive black to stealth it in.
