Skin Makeover Plan: How to Use Colorful Rio 2022 Stickers

Welcome to this episode of Skin Makeover Plan~ Today, we’re focusing on Rio 2022 Stickers—this uniquely designed set of holo jelly Stickers. From basic color matching to more advanced combos, we’ll help you unlock the best ways to use Rio 2022 Stickers~

“IEM Rio 2022 Viewer Pass / Stickers”! This Sticker set has richly saturated backgrounds and a clean, square look, almost like little jelly cubes. Use them the right way, and you can really make your skins look better!

Glock-18

This gradient craft is honestly a real classic! You don’t need to pay big money for a Fade—just DIY the look with Stickers. Most Glock-18 skins work for a DIY Fade, and you can pick the color-shift range you like based on your own color preference. For example, the reference skin here, Nuclear Garden, starts with a green base and builds the gradient from there.

‌

You can also build different color-shift ranges based on your own preference! For example:

For yellow-based Glock-18 skins, See Ya Later:

‌

A purple-based Glock-18 Moonrise:

‌

Gradient finishes also work well on the USP-S:

You can use it to craft the suppressor barrel, and choose different sections depending on the color you want.

‌

You can also go for these weapon skin crafts:

‌

Shiny Top-of-Gun Craft

For some solid-color skins, matching Stickers from the same color family can clean up and enhance certain parts of the finish. Take the P2000 Slaughter — the grip is purple, so a 4x 9z Team craft on the top of the slide gives you a nice shiny highlight up top.

‌

AK-47 Accent

In case anyone forgot what the original Frontside Misty finish looks like:

Solid-Color Magazine

Rio 2022 Stickers come in a wide range of colors for players to choose from. Here, using the classic AK-47 skin Frontside Misty as a reference, the rich color range of Rio 2022 Stickers lets you pick similarly toned blue-heart player autograph stickers to dress up the magazine—using a solid-color band craft to match the weapon’s large color blocks.

‌

Poly Mag

Besides clean, color-matched solid blue crafts, the AK-47 can also go for flashy, stylish small color-block stickers to create a gradient mag, like a blue-to-red fade:

‌

Handguard Finish

Use Rio 2022 Stickers to accent the black sections of Frontside Misty:

‌

Holo Gradient Across the Weapon Body

Holo Sticker naturally looks better. Rio Holo Stickers do not have a very dramatic color shift, but their colors are more saturated, so you can use them to make a color-shifting Holo stripe craft.

‌

CT Main Rifle Series Accents

Gradient Handguard

You can also use five Stickers to dress up the M4A4's handguard,

‌

You can also go with other color options:

‌

It also works on other skins, like the Asiimov:

‌

Solid-Color Handguard and Link

‌

Magazine Accent

can add a colored magazine accent to M4A1-S skins in different color schemes. For example, it works well on the purple M4A1-S Black Lotus:

‌

Crystal Mag

Analyze each finish on its own terms. For example, on color-shifting skins like Poly Mag, the weapon body has crystal clusters that change color, so you can use player autograph stickers in different colors to mimic that shifting crystal look.

‌

AWP Scope

Gradient Scope

Use Rio 2022 Stickers to accent the front and rear of the scope, as shown below:

‌

Solid-color scope

Similarly, some sniper-rifle skins also use solid-color palettes, such as the pink Krakow 2017, the purple Sun in Leo, the green Atheris, and so on. Here, we’ll use the green Atheris as the reference for making a pure-green scope:
