So, the title says what happens. I am wondering if this will have damaged it? I am guessing if it's not conductive it won't damage it (I can't find wether it is conductive). I am talking about how I may have gotten like a TINY amount through a gap in tape that was covering it. The parts where it may have gotten into are boxed: http://screencloud.net/v/kf6O (No, the rest of the black spots were not exposed)

I dont know if its conductive or not but it might be corrosive to the pcb since you dont know about the property of the paint, so it would be best if you take it to a technician to scrape that paint out as the warranty is already void it wont harm.

I was way too scared to take the heatsink off as it felt really tightly stuck on. So, I taped everything other than the heatsink, but somehow the tape separated a bit. So, it will not DAMAGE it? How do you know this? Like even if the spray paint is conductive? (Can't find if it is)

Only thing is that I live in Costa Rica, so nobody here would know anything about that. Also, my warranty is not void, since I never took off the heatspreaders ;)
