Take your time with the project. I think QBP has white spokes. Have a bike shop order some for ya... painting them would work as well as long as you tape off the threads. You may be able to get white nipples as well. Check with a LBS and see what can be special ordered.

Quick Everyone lets all go Out and paint our Spoke Threads! Yeah!,
persoanlly the enamel spray paint sounded not bad to me as long as you take your time and are carefull with the painting, it can't go that wrong can it?

Painting might be a bad idea. So long as you lay a thin layer of paint,it shouldnt though. Make sure the spokes still thread through the holes in the hub flange.

Regular spokes. Take a pic, photoshop it for forum cool points and then go ride your bike.
