Oooo he may be "baity" but he doesn't look that bad? Maybe a "spa treatment" will help him. Like starrynights says, if you use certain paints it can be removed with water (or alcohol??) without damaging the factory paint. I don't know who best to ask about it, except I always just direct people to my little pony preservation project, it is my go-to for pony "first aid" Regardless...congrats for getting him!
And nice haul of HQG1C ladies!!
