Yeah, weird question.
I don't even know if it belongs on this board, but whatever.
I want to go with a neon green & black type theme with my new build... It's too expensive for me to buy a water cooling kit, so I thought a closed loop would do well. planning on buying the H100i, but I want to to fit the theme.
Can I spray paint the tubing pipes. Just those, not the radiator or cpu block. Would this damage it? Any certain type of spray paint I should use if I even can? Any cautions or precautions I should take before doing it...?

I don't recommend it. You can do it but you'll need to use a specific paint as the solvent in a regular paint will affect/degrade the rubber. I have also never seen it in a spray so you'd most likely be needing to do it with a brush. Then you have the hose flexing as you install which will most likely cause cracks in the paint.
