Hi. I am wondering which paint is the best to mod GPU's, as I would like to spray paint my GPU backplate white, and the other parts (except the fans) white as well.
What spray paint is the best for modding PC parts?

1| You shouldn't paint the PCB of your GPU or any other component pertaining to PCB's for that matter. If you'd like to do so please be wary that any form of modification would entail in voiding of warranty. The use of a spray paint can will damage electrosensitive parts since the rattle/ball inside the spray can induces a positive charge while it also helps dispense the compound within the can.
2| You could use Plastidip but that is only recommended for the backplate. If you're dealing with only shrouds/backplates then you can remove them from the component and then prep them for paint over by a spray paint other than Plastidip like Rustoleum or Valspar.
3| There isn't any particular spray paint you should look for rather the technique...
