Not sure if natural aluminum is something you want, OP, but I thought I'd mention it.

I might try that with my Asus P8Z68 V-Pro Board as I scrached one of my heatsinks and the aluminum might go better with my next build.

****sorry back on topic now****

I am interested to see what you are doing with the Sabtertooth board. When i clicked the link I thought you where just painting the plastic cover plate like i've seen done a few times.

follow the directions of the paint.. if it calls for it, use it..
all you need is to apply the wrong paint and screw up the armor plate
with five coats of usless paint. it'll have to be for plastic use.

Should be. I've used it on a ton of my computer stuff, mostly seems like I use it on all of my I/O shields though. But it's great, comes in a spray can just like spray paint and sprays on just as easily. But creates a thin rubber skin over the object. Easily removable if you want a new color too, just peels right off
