I have a couple of E's who won't give up their painted shells. I'm thinking if I can get slightly larger shells that are the exact same as the ones they are wearing they might be more likely to change. I've been looking at all the pics on HCA but I can't find ones shaped like the "normal" painted shells. The kind that look like this:

I appreciate the help!

i haven't measured but i could use 5-10 of them ranging b/t 3/4" and 1". Do you have any in that size range? I'll measure the one he's in when I get home this evening.

Oh man those are painted all on the inside, I was thinking just get those and scrape off the paint but those shells are ruined.
