Got a junk computer case? If not ask a friend for one they have lying around. Pull the buttons off that, repaint them or whatever you want. That should do.

You're probably better off just buying a replacement front panel from a case manufacturer. If you really want to go DIY I don't think you can just buy plastic pieces to go ontop of those buttons if that's what you're asking. Then again, literally any push button will work for this so you can find ones you like visually and use those.

For custom power buttons you will want to search for momentary switches, here is an example of a momentary vandal switch which is commonly used for custom builds.

i am trying to avoid soldering, so if it is possible to get a facade for the current switches that would be prefered

You don't need to solder those you can get crimps for existing front panel connector cables, or go with ones that use screw terminals.
