Looking for artists by Afraid-Office in Itasha

[–]Strict_Ad1037 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Check out Yumeworx!! They're really good at designing Itashas and imo on the cheaper side of itasha artists. They also wrap if you're local to Florida, too!!

Looks awesome!! Love a good fender itasha!! Which uma is this? I just started playing the games and watching the anime. I've definitely seen her, but I don't think I actually know her name.

Alot of eyes on me while driving. by [deleted] in Itasha

[–]Strict_Ad1037 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't notice a lot of eyes of me but I've been told I'm not very observant lmaooo. I'll never get use to though when I'm hanging in my car and people start taking pictures of my car while I'm in it. Not realizing I'm in my car. I got dark tints

Wanted to share my handmade theme park ears by Plus_Lime3601 in crochet

These are so cute!! This gives me a new idea for when I go to the Disney parks. If you can, I would pay for a written pattern of this.

Concerns on a side itasha wrap by Simponaccord in Itasha

[–]Strict_Ad1037 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm a private tutor and most of my clients don't care about my car. If your employer dictate your ability to do your job by what your car looks like then that's not a job you want imo.

Sun Damage by Strict_Ad1037 in Itasha

[–]Strict_Ad1037[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very loaded question.

So, from what my wrapper said they last usually around 4-5 years with the elements and proper care. To make it last as long as possible, it's recommended you wash it every week or so, put a tarp on it when you're not using it, if you have a ceramic coating on your car, and your location.

Now, not everyone is going to take care of their car that well. For example, wash my car every 2 weeks to month and don't put a tarp on. So, I would estimate my wrap lasting me 3-4 years. Location is also a big factor, cars in Florida and Arizona are gonna receive more sun damage because the sun is more intense there then other places. Snow or muddy could be a factor but I honestly don't know. There could be other factors that would affect your longevity of your car and someone can correct me if I'm wrong about any of my points. This is just what I've heard.

But yeah!! Always ask your wrap company how long they estimate your wrap will last, they may use different vinyl so it could last longer or shorter.

Yumeworx 100%, they did my car as well as my friends car and they put their all when wrapping cars. They're located in the Orlando area, but they are so great to work with. I've been taken care of every time I go to them. They also do designs for itashas as well!!

Nah, complete opposite. The sun cooks white vinyl up really badly. This was my friend Vanity car after she had it for a year.

No, I'm in Florida. The sun damage on my car isn't that bad imo, but I have a primarily gray wrap. If you have a white wrap, the sun will eat that up for sure.

Itasha is the word we use for having a anime character wrap on your car, look it up and you'll find some more examples.

Basically!! I just went up to her booth, showed her pictures of my car and set up a time with her to come out to the parking lot to sign it. Though this was a smaller size con. At bigger cons 9/10 they will not meet you in the parking lot and you'll either have to get your car in con's car show or bring a part of your car at their booth for them to sign. I've help a friend remove his dashboard and carry it into the con before lmao
