I can't see any reason why not, other then the obvious of thermal concerns....

I clicked here thinking it was a normal, new post. I was going to respond with, "that's only something stupid that the LTT crew would think up". 

 

Wow, I know LMG too well, haha.

What happened to the LTT that would say "short spurts of paint, you don't want overspray"? 

 

Also, you made a painting booth, but didn't (seem) to use it here?!

has got to be the worst plasti-dip job ever, feel sorry for anyone who has to try and peal it off. I suspect that was half the reason for Free Geek parts, so they could just be tossed afterward.

They've been redoing all of the sets, so I think the booth is currently pulled down.

What with what they were actually planning to do, I don't think paint quality was really in their minds lol 

 

If Linus asked me to strip down an entire PC, components included, and do a proper paint job on each and every one of them (primer, sanding, multiple coats etc.) I'd stab him in the heart.

not saying do all that, just use proper spray technique so you get a smooth finish, you don't sand or primer with plasti-dip.
