What are some ways to make a custom GPU backplate?

Are there any GOOD videos on youtube that teach me how to make a custom backplate that isn't expensive? I have the EVGA GeForce RTX 2070 XC BLACK EDITION GAMING.

Just cut one out of a sheet of acrylic and hold it on with some command strips.

I usually order gpu backplates from v1 tech but if you dont need one printed its way cheaper to just make one yourself.

What would be the best way to paint acrylic?

Exactly what I did here:

 

I then lined the edges with electrical tape.

 

You get the best results from painting the back of the acrylic

 

I did some red lines on the back and then covered the whole back in black paint

If I were to do this should I put a clear coat on the back?

No real point, since the back won't be seen
