Im afraid painting would not be easy for that chassis. It requires a lot of time and a lot of effort to do so.

Powder coat is also not an option as the Corsair 540 AIR is made mostly of plastic. If there is a need to powder coat you will have to strip down the entire chassis in order to send in for powder coat.

you can put stickers all over your casing, or wallpaper to make it pink.

Not much diff... 4460 is Haswell Refresh... I believe they just boost it by 100mhz? The rest are the same... Besides, price are the same and shops are stocking more on the 4460, so it makes more sense to get it.
