Yeah. I bought 16GB Corsair Vengance ram in black. And then decided to make the color theme of my computer red. 

So instead of spending money to buy the red version can i simply paint parts of the heatsink? its 1600mhz clocked ram.

sure, just be aware it will probably void your warrenty

Shure you can just pull the heat spreder off them and paint those.

so is it safe to remove the heatspreader then yes? simply just stick it back together when finished?

Well, if you're careful. We had a set of ram I tried to take the heatsink off of, and it ripped off a memory module. It was an older stick, though. So when I painted my new ones, I just used tape to cover the exposed areas.. Shoved toilet paper into the holes ans whatnot. Worked out perfect.

Well i suppose that will be just as easy. thanks
