Paint a bike chain

I've been shopping around for some snazzy green parts for my bike. I have a few, but was interested in getting a green chain. I soon found out that no one makes a green chain (that I know of). Then I found this Izumi for $60 .

Then I thought I could surely modify a chain for way less money. I was thinking taking a white KMC Z410 and taking apart the ENTIRE chain. Then taking all of the outer plates, laying them face up on some newspaper, and spraying them with some green spray paint. Then once dry re-assemble the chain. I think I can get paint a white KMC chain and a chain tool for under $60.

Are all chain tools the same? or do i need a specific chain tool for a KMC Z410 chain?

Will the chain tool ruin the paint I put on?

Does anyone know an easier or cheaper way to get a green chain?
