EVGA GTX 980 Backplate Paint:

So I currently have the EVGA GTX 980 SC AXC 2.0 (04G-P4-2983-KR). Naturally the card doesn't come with a backplate, and I'm really trying to find out how I can get one. I'm doing an all white build, and the card will just look nasty without a backplate painted.

My first issue is finding the backplate, and then my second issue is finding the paint necessary, or if it can even be mounted on the card at all.

Can someone give me a hand?

Unfortunately I had absolutely no luck :/ I really don't want to resort to buying a 1080 (I would prefer it over the 1070) just to get a back plate customizable. 

 

Amazon didn't have it, nor did EBay. 

 

Does anyone know if this site is legit/reliable?

Our sister company Custom Acrylics (run by the same team that runs Addon Customs) makes custom backplates, feel free to message us and we can work with you to make a backplate you like. Please note that we are currently still working on setting up Custom Acrylics so wouldn't be able to make any backplates until mid-November at the earliest.
 We also ship world wide.
