This was inspired by damulta. I was viewing his work log of painting his board so i thought i would give it a try...
sorry didn't take a before pic so this one is going to have to do
the paint
.
I didn't take a pic after covering everything so lets just skip to the first coat as you can see there are some spots that aren't even and some places that i didn't even cover but that will be taken care of on the 2nd coat if not then in 3rd
that is all for now will update as i work on it
Update time
This is after everything is done and back in the case. going to let it dry overnight before i put power to it. will update if everything still works
Update.
everything works. I gotta think Damulta for the idea here is the pic of it running if you look by the HDD you can see 2 blue LEDS glowing
Update
12/29/08
everything still is working. haven't noticed any difference in temps other then what was expected when going from MX-2 to white grease
update 12/30/08
i have had it folding all night i ran orthos for about 2hrs before i stopped it but didn't take a SS as you can see painting the board and CPU HSF didn't affect temps too much if any.
here are idle temps
here are load temps after orthos and F@H for about 8hrs
just so you can see another pic of the board here it is in my Antec 300 with my 8800GT
update 12/31/08
passed ~7hr of orthos and not one problem
Update 1/7/09
everything still working has been folding almost 24/7 overclocked since done.
Update 1/20/09 last update for now. The board has been sold to my best friend and he is now using it. This was requested by him so it would stand out.

still working. It has been crunching and folding 100% almost 24/7 since finished. I think it is safe to say that painting it had no negative affect.
8/7/2010
still running great. I have had it crunching 100% with a X2 4200+@3.1ghz and then switched to a X2 250@3.7ghz. If your thinking about painting your board at this point i would say that it is safe to do and won't cause any harm if you cover everything.
