The material on the IO shield, is something different than metal, and obviously has the labels printed on there. IO shields like what I pictured have two "layers", the bare metal, and some sort of plastic / vinyl material glued on top with the labeling printed on. I'm just looking out to see what the second, non-metal material is, so I could hopefully make my own printed labels for the shield, instead of having ugly shiny sheet metal
I'm not talking about the metal part, I'm talking about the second layer on top of the metal part, with the printed labels and colors, aaaaaaand

It'd be easier to print out a sticker of whatever material IO shields use / something similar, instead of hand-painting.
Normal stickers is my plan-B if I can't find out what materials these types of IO shields use for the labeling.
Looking at the Asrock B450M/AC, I specifically need Micro ATX and built-in WiFi / Bluetooth since PCIe / USB WiFi / Bluetooth card antenna's block other ports.
1. There isn't, without buying a nuts expensive ITX board, but the IO shields with those are extremely gamer-y, which I hate. I want my IO shield to look like what I pictured above, just black & white.
2. Have looked, all are just stamped sheet metal.
I'm fine with spending up to $20 for this, since it'll look so much better, and be quality-of-life since the ports (especially audio) would be clearly labeled, and I'd know which direction to shove the cable too, without having to do the classic flip-plug-until-fits
