Craft for the gun, not the feed
Good crafts reinforce the skin’s existing colors. Bad crafts add a fourth palette and a joke that expires.
Simple formulas
Corner accents, suppressor lines on USP-S, and mirrored pairs on AKs. Leave breathing room on the receiver.
Scrapes with purpose
Partial scrapes can create gradients — or look like accidents. Decide the silhouette before you scrape.
Budget crafts
One strong paper or foil can beat four random holos. Spend attention first, money second.
