Frequently Asked Questions

WHAT IS TRIPFAST.jp?

Portrait of TRIPFAST.jp artist, Andrew

TRIPFAST.jp is the vision of a single artist, Andrew. Since 2016, TRIPFAST.jp original art, type, and designs have turned heads and altered perceptions - Check out our journey on Instagram and give us a follow!

TRIPFAST.jp creates the World's Finest Handmade Stickers since 2016.

Inspired by import car culture, our signature handmade layered stickers are a cut above anything else you've ever seen. Unlike standard printed stickers, TRIPFAST.jp layered designs are created by painstakingly layering individual colors of vinyl film. The extreme color and texture dynamics in these designs, sometimes featuring a dozen or more unique colors and finishes, cannot be replicated with printing or automated means. This process requires a high level of attention to detail, patience, and careful consideration of materials. Many of the layered stickers offered here are the result of multiple hours of work, constructed individually by hand, by the artist, Andrew.

HOW ARE TRIPFAST.jp STICKERS MADE?

See how TRIPFAST.jp layered stickers are made! Watch in fullscreen for best experience.

All layered stickers from TRIPFAST.jp are made individually, by hand, from start to finish. From idea to sketch, sketch to vector, vector to cut, and cut to reality.

First, I start with an idea or a concept that I want to convey. While I think about what I want to make, I will sketch ideas and compositions, and consider layer interactions and colors.

Once I have a general composition in mind, I'll work towards a useable sketch to help me begin creating digital assets. Creation of digital assets is usually a multi-stage process, taking a rough idea to dimensionally accurate vector image. From there, further refinement of the design to aide in processing of the cut material can require a very high level of attention to detail.

After a design is cut, excess material must be manually removed from the design. This process requires patience, as fine details do not always cut correctly, and can be damaged or accidentally removed if proper care is not taken.

In the last steps of the creation process, the processed layers must be stuck together; each processed layer is visually aligned and carefully applied in an optimized order to minimize possible bubbles and poor adhesion of laminations.

INSTALLATION TIPS

  • When used in automotive applications, stickers should only be installed on uncoated glass surfaces to minimize the chances of damage to the substrate and ease of future removal.
  • Application surface should be completely free of all coatings, waxes, glazes, oils, and other contaminates for best results.
  • Only apply stickers to cool surfaces out of direct sunlight.
  • Apply stickers to surfaces with the aide of a rigid straight-edge using moderate pressure. Keep the transfer tape cover on the sticker to act as a protective barrier during this process.
  • Wet application is possible, but may compromise adhesive characteristics on specialty films, and is therefore not recommended.

This ovrdue × TRIPFAST.jp Late Bloomer Six Layer Sticker was applied in direct sunlight for clarity of demonstration - you should only apply yours in the shade or on an overcast day.

HOW LONG WILL MY STICKERS LAST?

As with all vinyl films - including the materials used in TRIPFAST.jp products - exposure to intense UV light and harsh weather will result in accelerated degradation of product integrity. Product lifespan ratings are not precise or guaranteed and will vary based on environment, UV exposure, and placement; for best results, apply to vertical surfaces.

  • Holographic, holo, flake, sparkle, sequin, oil slick, reflex, color flip, metallic, chrome, and all other specialty-finish films (anything other than a basic solid color) will lose their luster faster than basic solid colors, but are rated by the film manufacturer at 3-5 years outdoor lifespan.
  • Fluorescent films are no longer offered by TRIPFAST.jp due to poor UV performance. They may return in the future as an indoor-only product. If you are the owner of a fluorescent design, please send us a message.
  • Most other films (basic colors) used in TRIPFAST.jp products have been rated by the film manufacturer at 5 years outdoor lifespan.
  • Most film manufacturers claim unlimited indoor (protected from UV exposure and extreme temperatures) lifespan, but results will vary.

To maximize the lifespan of layered stickers:

  • Minimize their exposure to UV rays.
  • Apply only to vertical surfaces.
  • Avoid direct contact with the sticker when possible.
  • Minimize their exposure to extreme temperatures.
  • It is recommended that stickers are applied only to cool, clean surfaces that are not frequently directly exposed to UV light for extended durations.
  • Use of detergents, cleaners, soaps, and other chemicals should be done with care and caution to prevent delamination, scratching, flaking, peeling, discoloration, fading, and other premature signs of wear.
  • On my garage-kept daily driver which would spend about 10 hours exposed per day in the Pacific North West, I found most stickers that were applied to vertical surfaces kept their colors for 2-3 years, and towards the end of 3 years they would start to show more obvious signs of wear.
  • Stickers that I have kept indoors out of direct sunlight have retained their appearance without notable exception.

HOW DO I CLEAN MY STICKER?

Your layered sticker is somewhat delicate, and not all soaps and cleaners are the same. Please carefully select the chemicals that come into contact with your sticker. TRIPFAST.jp takes no responsibility for damages that may occur due to improper care or exposure to any substance regardless of the recommendations made below.

  • DO NOT SCRUB THE STICKER. You are likely to cause irreversible damage to a layered design by scrubbing it with a brush, sponge, cloth, or any other material.
  • DO NOT DIRECTLY POWER WASH THE STICKER. The force of water may be high enough to delaminate smaller details.
  • Instead of scrubbing or forcefully spraying, use a soft cotton terry towel and light dabbing motion with plenty of cleaning fluid to gently agitate surface dirt.
  • Wash only when sticker and surface are cool and shaded from the sun.
  • It is recommended that you use a soap that is non-caustic, ph-neutral, wax-free, silicone-free, and clean-rinsing. High quality automotive soaps targeted at protecting existing waxes and coatings are likely to work well.
  • Dilute the soap aggressively - you don't need much soap to clean vinyl and polyester films.
  • Do not allow soap to dry on any sticker.
  • For finely detailed stickers, a very fine soft brush may be useful for reaching stubborn spots. Cotton swabs work well too, but cotton fibers may get trapped under corners and fine detail. Be careful around fine detail as it is possible to delaminate layers and specialty films.
  • Dry the sticker with a lint-free cloth using a very gentle dabbing motion - DO NOT SCRUB OR WIPE. While microfiber is a good choice for paint and glass, it isn't a good choice for layered stickers - the small fibers get trapped under corners and fine detail. A simple terry cloth or cotton towel works great.

I personally use the following products to clean layered stickers on my vehicle during normal car washing.

  • Wizard's Wash concentrate, 4tsp/3gal
  • Chemical Guys chenille microfiber mitt (gently pressed repeatedly onto the stickers until clean and shiny, rinsed thoroughly once clean)
  • Chemical Guys standard orange microfiber towel (while I don't recommend that you use microfiber to dry, these towels have a low-pile, "non-fluffy" side that is effective and relatively safe for gently dabbing onto layered stickers in my experience.)

WHY NO CLEAR COAT OR LAMINATE?

I've looked high and low, near and far, searching for the perfect solution to protect layered stickers. I wish that there were a perfect solution that would allow me to warranty stickers for any amount of time, or help the stickers last for longer in severe weather and under harsh sun exposure.

Unfortunately, there is no such perfect solution. I've tried resins, urethanes, laminates, and everything in between. Every single solution falls short and compromises the end-product.

  • Resins are toxic to work with and require dedicated processing methods for good results, but they will yellow, crack, and warp over time.
  • The same types of issues occur with urethanes as well.
  • Both resin and urethane completely compromise the finish (matte/gloss/satin) and alter colors.
  • Laminates look awful because they trap air when the surface isn't perfectly flat, which layered stickers are not - there is no way around this that I am aware of.
  • Ceramic coatings are popular for preserving car wraps, but an essential step of proper application of all ceramic coatings is buffing; this is not possible with layered designs.

Spray-on vinyl protectants may assist in extending the life of stickers, but these products are not endorsed, recommended, or tested by TRIPFAST.jp. As stated in the "How do I clean my sticker?" section of this FAQ, TRIPFAST.jp assumes no responsibility for damages that may occur due to the usage of any chemical, treatment, product, or material in conjunction with TRIPFAST.jp products.

Shop Layered Stickers

"Late Bloomer" is a six layer handmade sticker, designed in collaboration with ovrdue. Featuring a design inspired by drift liveries, this six layer was released in their classic colorway. With multiple highly detailed, intricate, colorful layers, the completed artwork exemplifies the TRIPFAST.jp handcrafted standard - the best and absolutely nothing less.

Going, Going, Gone!!

While most of our work isn't explicity set as a limited edition, the amount of work involved in creating layered stickers limits the quantities available at any given time. And with our global audience, handmade work sells quickly.

To better serve you, and offer a more diverse range of options, I have developed a method for simulating the effects of our fully layered designs, which we have called our "HYBRID" series. These stickers combine state-of-the-art printing methods and substrates with our hand-layered styling.

Starting with our renowned Sakura Six Layer, we have created a faithful reproduction that comes in at a lower price with larger availability, without losing our perception-altering style. HYBRID stickers are the perfect solution for displaying your psychedelic side without the worry of damaging a fully-layered sticker.

Why Stop At Stickers?

You already know the drill at this point. I cut no corners to bring you the best. Our tees and pins are premium-grade items built with you in mind.
