what are the viable options of one painting/coating an IC? i'd like to consider making my greddy FMIC gunmetal, but i dont know if this is an acceptable practice or what. would one get it powdercoated, painted, or what, and would this jeapordize or help cooling properties?

I really know nothing about this, so any thoughts appreciated.

thanks,
Bill

Polish It....Powdercoating will basically make it a big absorber of heat rather than a dissipater..

Anodizing works well.
