I have debated shaving the reo mini SP to make it a LP.
Is this a wise idea?
I need some expert advice please.

Would this devalue my REO

its a tough one IMO ,you may lose value as its modified ,but you will broaden your market.
from someone who wants a reo,but recently decided against a non LP buy due to airy preferences i would pounce on a shaved reo.
but in fairness,wouldn't expect to pay the same as a reosmods lp.
also this is quality dependent,a bad job will destroy value,and limit the market to modders(like me ;P )

So far it looks like its worth shaving Paige any other thoughts?
No it hasn't. It increased the value. Now it can take a wider range of atties.
ok so does anyone know who can shave my reo in Cape Town?
Done mine. Opens a whole new world of attys.
No one wants a Standard REO because of the imitations... shaving your REO will increase the value!
Thanks Rob now I just need to find someone with the MAD skills to be able to do it... AnYbody here that can do it and is in Cape Town?
@Philip, I agree with what was said above. Unfortunately I do not know of someone to do it. I had one of mine done by @WestCoastFog and very professionally, but he lives quite far from Cape Town and do not know if he has the facility to do it, still available.
Another option, once you have done it, is to strip the coating of the Reo - then the whole mod will be raw aluminium, which is a favourite of mine and a few other Reonauts.

Thanks man
Cant I just cover up the raw aluminum with black nail polish?
No, that you will immediately notice and it won't last. I does not at all look bad with the top of the catch cup in aluminium - in fact with a silver atomizer it looks quite fitting imo.
I guess you could, but the raw aluminum feels incredible in the hand, at least to me. In addition, you don't have to worry about little paint chips and scratches, because they are easily removed with some scotch-brite cloth.
Or you could strip the whole Reo down to raw aluminium, its mine and alot of other folks favourite look.
I must be honest,i cried a little inside when i read that.
Please don't use nail polish,strip it,powder coat it mother of pearl and pink,but please dont use nail varnish.
it will look terrible,chip and let off lord alone knows what plethora of fumes into your vape if heated accidentally.
we dont drink pink drinks,and we dont paint a ferarri with a permanent marker.
personally,polish the button and door the same as the shaved section,think it will look amazing
Why not just buy another Reo, you can find them in LP

We need a one-stop shop for all the Reo modifications.
Shaving, converting to a SP and also color modifications.

Yes, you can, but you will have an ugly gap at the bottom.
I know @johan told us once what to do to take the anodizing of, but i cant find it
"Seep soda" // Caustic Soda
Until you see the bare aluminum and then quickly rinse in clean cold water - do it outside and use gloves. NB: the fumes are toxic!
