Go for it.
My IC is sitting on my deck lathered in paint stripper right now......

As far as cooling efficiency; your only coating the front of the IC, not inside the core.

Ill be posting pics Thursday.

we've been palying with the idea that a black ic might actually cool the charged air down more efficently than a silver on given the fact that no sunlight is on the ic...in our engineerng class we studdied that black is a color that absorbs energy ex..sunlight, but in the absence of light that black color will absorb another energy, such as heat..so in "thoery" if no sun light a painted ic would be more efficent than a silver one..

Just don't get the ceramic paint and make it a lite coat, I think that would be fine.

technically it woul make it less effective by insulating the ic but not enuf to matter ... paint it all black but put tape to spell hmt like someone else did on here
