I am doing a custom build with a watercooling loop and am having a couple designs done on it. I wanted to incorporate the design inside the case as well and was just wondering if it's safe to paint a reservoir tube

Are we talking wetted surfaces ? If so I wouldn't touch....

if we are talking the tube inside the Photon Res for example, don't touch ....

If tubing to / from the reservoir, you can't paint flexible tubing, you can dye it but I wouldn't, you can buy colored tubing.

There are reservoir covers

And pre patterned tubing

No i am talking about the outside of the reservoir tube, painting a custom image on the outside of it. I am doing a black green and grey theme with Alien design and wanted to paint an egg or mini alien on the reservoir tube to make it look like its floating inside.

Doesn't matter what the image is... paint I think will just peel off the plexi unless you rough up (sandpaper) the surface before applying and that would be ugly....
