Was thinking about it! If I do I'll probably do it by hand as they would be pretty hard to put back in painted and not chipping.

I'm not feeling that look. To me, it looks like a clown wearing makeup around its lips. I seriously mean no offense, but I liked the other look much better.

They aren't that great for appearance without other peices, but are quite unique in their own right.
