Getting on in years and having more scuffs and bondo than glossy slate chitin, Raoul decided to go with a coat of fresh paint and some detailing to attract the lady sowbugs. With eye-catching flames, chrome running boards, and nibble-able green biodegradeable paint, he even dissuades some birds from attacking, thinking him one of the poisonous, or at least less tasty bugs out there.

Cool thing is, every molt is an excuse to do a new paintjob.

Pondering the cosmetic aspects of living with chitin - enamels, piercings, dry brushing, and glue on accessories, and got a little inspiration from Ramone from Cars.
