This “void the warranty” stuff is way overblown. The Magnusson-Moss Act, and various court and FTC rulings since then, show that it’s pretty hard to void a warranty. The vendor has to clearly show that you did something RELATED TO THE PROBLEM. For example, I have a lifted Jeep, under warranty. Some people told me I voided the warranty by lifting it. No, not even close. If I went in for something directly related to the lift, they would say “no,” as they should. But I had an axle problem and there was never any question it was covered. You can even open the device and look, despite the stickers saying “WARRANTY VOID IF REMOVED.” They have ZERO legal standing.
The tip for the Rust-Oleum paint is good, but don’t mask the assembled body.
It’s clear from the teardown pictures that there are only two screws holding the camera together. With care one can disassemble and paint.
Just be sure to tape off the areas where the body slides together or joins so that you don’t have fitment issues, and of course keep the paint off of the inside parts.
Check out the teardown pics.

How did matte black paint work out?
Ugh this new forum is horrible on my iPad.
In regards to your question, I never got around to painting my wyze cams, and I’m glad because the new black ones will be here to purchase in a few days

Any skin or tape can affect heat-dissipation and seems kludgy, Native black for the pan model is on my wishlist, and window reflections are the main reason for it.
What an odd thread.
Answer: a can of black spray paint.
That’s no simple thing in the details, though. You have to make sure no paint gets into the interior surfaces like the pan cam pivot gap and air vents. Also, you’d have to sand the smooth plastic to do it right.
I’d try a black marker before paint; thinner layer for heat-dissipation, but not as uniform. I did that as a test on a white basic cam, just the front face. The glare went away but it looked ghetto. Sharpie ink was mostly wiped off with alcohol.
