Hi I have a X-Fi Xtrememusic and I would like to replicate the gold color on it on to other pci brackets, i/o shield, etc.

Is this color anodized in or was it dipped in some sort of paint?

If it was painted can someone help me to find out what shade (tone) of gold it is? (or yellow)

BLAH, I got a gold spray paint and it did not come out looking like the cap or close to the X-fi lol

Although i have to admit I like the spray paint gold better than the X-fi gold

Well there ya go, a couple of screws is all that's usually needed to get that plate off of your card...make it match.

Photo shopped image, I purposely made a picture with a terrible background and practice cropping to create white around it lol but that's not the point

This is what that bracket thing I spray painted for
