your best bet on this is to obtain some scrap aluminum from the lian-li...perhaps from a window cutout, and use a nibbler to cut one out, and use some double sided tape to mount it to the MO one.....
pcmods sell the scrap window cutouts, and there very cheap..check here

Thanks for the input but i really have a Coolermaster ATC 410 and the metal is different from the lian li case so is there any paint i can put on that would make it look like the case color on that one? well many thanks for your help!

well, i used Krylon bright silver metalic to paint my drives and switches...its looks pretty good with my Lian-li, though not an exact match, its the closest ive found yet....might look good with the coolermaster aluminum...cant say for sure, as i havent seen a coolermaster in person yet....
