What did ya find mate?Been looking for something similar

Unfortunately nothing, im a very observational person and didn't realise they are already the color i want.... xD. All i know is that you need to be really good at soldering according to a friend, if i find soemthing ill post it here though

I made an order for a few bits during the week in it I have a few "sacrificial" pcie cards Im intending on painting my mobo to get the color scheme I want I also bought the cheapest piece of crap computer I could find to practice with ill post pics when I start maybe others might be interested, I already bought paint just need to find the right primer

YEah i wanted to change the actual PCIe slots on the mobo, from red to blue (turns out i was thining of the rampage extreme 3) but mine are already blue haha
 
I did that once with an AGP slot on an older board just to see if I could. I used a special oven a friend gave me (kinda like an easy bake) that was meant to de-solder the underside of a board. managed to changed the slot from the ugly tan to a nice blue. and it worked for a few weeks. Can't tell if my doing is what stopped the board from working.

BTW the oven I am talking about was something a friend made in a tech class. idk if a company makes a real one.

I have thought of de-soldering and painting and re-soldering (well my cousin would do the soldering shes pretty incredible with a solderng gun) but I think it would be better to tape up everything stick a card in the slot and then paint?Should be pretty safe so long as I use the right paint
