# Suits C3PO well
I've always wondered about that silver leg...

# According to the internets...
It's because he was built from scrap parts of C3 units, which is partly explained if you survive Ep 2

Either that or it's a cheap cover-up for the fact they ran out of gold paint.

# Well there was also a silver version of the same C3 unit
which you see pretty much first thing on the original film, so I always assumed the gold one broke a leg at some point so they replaced it from the silver model and dint have time to re paint it.

It's not consistent thru-out the movie.

# That's probably it then.
I think it's the award ceremony at the end, or the part just after Luke buys them, when he gets the golden leg.

# Which as they needed everyone to look pristine was the first thing they filmed
so makes a certain sense...
