Painting radiator shroud

[BossManSays]

Hey guys I'm doing a Ryzen white build with the msi mortar artic with a white corsair 240 case. Anyways I got a nzxt x52 because why wouldn't you? My only concern is that of course there aren't a lot of white AIO'S out there and none I'd consider good quality.

To make a long story short I want to paint the outer shroud of the nzxt white to make it really pop. Does anyone have any experience on it and what kind of paint should I use?

I painted my Kraken X52 purple to match my build, and basically you just need to make sure to properly cover the actual radiator fins to prevent them from being colored. It's recommended to use a piece of cardboard measured and cut to fit over the rad fins, but I didn't have that so I used a thick paper shopping bag and taped off the areas where I didn't want paint to go. Oh, taping off the tubes from the point they reach the rad is a good idea as well.
