Just a small update. For those of us that live in Canada, the silver hi-temp Powerfist spray paint from Princess Auto is an almost EXACT match to the interior steel parts, and the PCI slot covers.
I painted a few parts on a halfway warm day, and reinstalled the back-plane, and MoBo Tray. I sanded down all the backs of the really short standoffs so I could use them as nuts on the inside with the screws that I removed the spacers from. Looks really nice to me.
That paint is such a close match that I am tempted to just trim down the steel plate that came with the front IO that I plan on using and surface mounting it in the front. I'm still debating that or getting USB 3 ports and attaching them in place on the original front IO, and then soldering an internal cable to the port to connect that way. Decisions, decisions...
