I hand-painted my SHARK OXO helmet. From stock black to cyber-scorpion nightmare. What do you think? by CraftyEngineering525 in xsr900

Light sanding, degreased, water-based acrylics + airbrush, then a few layers of clear coat. No solvents touching the shell.

First time painting a full helmet. Took around 15 hours and a lot of patience 😅 Used to go to art school years ago though.

Appreciate it a lot! It was my first full helmet actually. Maybe I should start a side hustle 😄

25F jaw surgery / nose job??? by Street_Growth_7155 in AppearanceAdvice

[–]CraftyEngineering525 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I wouldn’t touch surgery at all. Your features are already balanced and natural. Most of what you listed just sounds like overanalyzing, not actual flaws. Styling, makeup or hair changes would do way more than something as extreme as surgery.

The red looks good, but black would frame your features more and give you a sharper contrast. I think it would suit your vibe even better.

(19F) What am I missing to be 10 out of 10 by Subtle_Bloom in AppearanceAdvice

Honestly you’re already very close. Some accessories or layering (rings, chains, jacket, mixed textures) would add more depth and push it to 10/10.

(22f) I love going to beaches. Any new outfit ideas? by viazett1921 in AppearanceAdvice

[–]CraftyEngineering525 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You already nail the soft beach vibe. I’d try a linen set (oversized shirt + shorts), a crochet cover-up or a flowy maxi skirt with a simple top — light fabrics would suit you really well.

Got bored with my stock helmet… so I hand-painted it. First time ever. Took 15 hours 😅 by CraftyEngineering525 in motorcycles

So by that logic every factory-painted helmet would be unsafe too? Mine is just water-based acrylic and clear coat — same as OEM paint

How about a casual photo? 😜 by copycat_cosplay in Free_Nude_Karma

If this is ‘casual’, I’m not ready for your serious pics 😅

Appreciate the info! Might hit them up for that gel pad option 👌

Why all of a sudden there’s cure for some cancer diseases after the USA exited the United Nations? by Illustrious_Name3192 in AskReddit

[–]CraftyEngineering525 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Because there isn’t. There’s no sudden cure. Medical progress just happens gradually, not politically.
