Well i just got my uv cold cathodes and i picked up some fluorescent paint last night that i am painting my fans with, now my question is, if i spray some of this paint into a cup and paint the tops of the capacitors ont he motherboard, is it gonna be bad? a heating issue, conductivity, anything like that?
 
High Voltage Capacitors are routinely covered on top to prevent shocks, and all Aluminum Electrolytics are covered on the sides already, so I would say that you'll be fine. If you're caps are getting hot (read boiling away the electrolyts inside :eek: ), something is up, and you've got bigger problems!
 
Painting the tops of your capacitors is not going to cause any problems
