Hello,
I would like to buy this water block, but my build is all white and I would like to make this block white as well.
My question is, can the top black cover be removed (marked with arrows in the photo) so that I can spray it white more easily.
Thank you for any valuable advice.

It's quite simple. There are four screws at the bottom that you need to loosen, then you can remove the black aluminum cover. These screws are independent from the rest of the cooler — they only hold the cover in place. The rest of the cooler, including the O-rings and other components, is secured by the other screws.
