The coverage sets the floor. Your vehicle decides how far above it the quote lands. Here is how that works for sedans, trucks, SUVs and exotics.

Short answer
At Offshore Window Tinting in Wailuku, PPF starts from $1,495.98 for a partial front, from $2,249 for a full front, from $2,995.89 for full front plus rockers and door edges, and from $6,499.89 for full body. Sedans and small crossovers sit closest to those floors; full-size trucks and SUVs quote higher because of panel size, and exotics are quoted individually. Drivers from Pukalani, Makawao, Kula and the rest of Upcountry pay the same price as Wailuku.
Key takeaways
- Coverage sets the starting price: partial front from $1,495.98, full front from $2,249, full front plus rockers from $2,995.89, full body from $6,499.89.
- Vehicle size and body shape move the quote above the floor; a long truck hood and a sculpted sports-car bumper both add time, for different reasons.
- Trucks and lifted vehicles usually need the rocker and door-edge package, because their own tires throw gravel at the lower body.
- Exotic and collector cars are quoted individually, because panel complexity and repair stakes vary too much for a starting price.
- There is no surcharge for the drive from Pukalani, Makawao, Kula or anywhere else on Maui.

Coverage sets the floor, the vehicle sets the quote
Every PPF quote at Offshore starts from the coverage you choose: partial front, full front, full front plus rockers and door edges, or full body. Those floors are in the table on this page. What moves a quote above the floor is the vehicle itself, its size, the shape of its panels and the condition of its paint.
If you want the full breakdown of every price factor, the PPF price guide covers all five. This page looks at the same numbers by vehicle type, because that is how most people actually shop.
Sedans, coupes and small crossovers
A Camry, Accord, Model 3, RAV4 or CR-V has moderate panel sizes and relatively simple front-end shapes. These cars sit closest to the starting prices, so a full front lands near the $2,249 floor. For most owners commuting on Mokulele Highway or Kaahumanu Avenue, full front is the right buy. Partial front from $1,495.98 is cheaper, but it leaves a visible film line across the hood and leaves the fenders bare.
Trucks
Full-size trucks quote higher for two reasons. First, the panels are big. An F-150, Silverado, Ram or Tundra hood is longer and wider than a sedan’s, and the bumper and fenders are larger, so there is more film and more labor in a full front.
Second, a truck’s own front tires throw gravel straight at the rockers and lower doors, especially with a lift or bigger tires. That is why most trucks start on the full front plus rockers and door edges package from $2,995.89 rather than the plain full front. The truck PPF page breaks coverage down by cab and bed.
On a truck, windshield protection film from $150 is worth adding. The windshield takes the hits at highway speed on Mokulele and Honoapiilani Highways, and the film needs no camera recalibration.
SUVs
Tahoes, Suburbans, Explorers and 4Runners combine large front panels with tall bumpers and, on many trims, complex grille and sensor openings. Expect a full front to quote above the floor, and the rocker package to make sense for the same reason as trucks.
Sports cars, exotics and collector cars
A Corvette, Porsche or McLaren may be smaller than a truck, but the shapes are not. Deep vents, sculpted bumpers and tight panel gaps take more stretching, more relief cuts and more time per square foot. And because one repainted panel on these cars can cost more than the film, most owners choose full body from $6,499.89 or above. Exotic and collector vehicles are quoted individually, after the car is seen.
Paint condition
Film preserves whatever paint is under it. New cars usually need only a decontamination wash. A used car, or a new car with dealer swirl marks, usually needs a one-step paint correction from $299, sometimes a two-step from $599, so the defects are not sealed in under the film. That cost is part of an accurate quote, and it is the same on every vehicle type.
Upcountry: Pukalani, Makawao and Kula
An Upcountry truck or SUV that works ranch and farm roads takes loose gravel, cinder and red dirt before it ever comes down Haleakala or Kula Highway. Add trade-wind dust and Maui’s strong sun and UV, and unprotected paint on an Upcountry truck ages fast. Full front is the place to start for a truck that runs those roads, often with rockers added.
The drive to the shop at 430 Hookahi St in Wailuku is about 20 minutes from Pukalani via Haleakala Highway, about 25 from Makawao and about 30 from Kula, and there is no surcharge for it; Upcountry pays the same price as Wailuku. The Upcountry page has the local detail.
What is in the price
The quoted price covers prep and decontamination, ProLayers film cut and fitted to your coverage, wrapped edges wherever the panel allows, an edge and seam inspection before handover, and the care walkthrough. The film’s written warranty terms are reviewed with you before install. PPF prices on this page are before Hawaii GET (4.712%), and there are no shop or disposal fees on top.
Getting your number
Send the year, make, model and trim, a few daylight photos of the front of the vehicle, the coverage you are considering and how the vehicle is driven. With that, the quote is for your vehicle, and you can compare it line by line with any other.
Questions
How much does PPF cost on Maui?
From $1,495.98 for a partial front, $2,249 for a full front, $2,995.89 for full front plus rockers and door edges, and $6,499.89 for full body. The quote for your vehicle depends on its size, shape and paint condition.
Why does PPF cost more on a truck than a car?
Full-size truck hoods, fenders and bumpers are larger, so they take more film and more time, and most trucks also need the rockers covered because their tires throw gravel at the lower body. That puts most trucks on the full front plus rockers package from $2,995.89 or above.
Is there a surcharge for Upcountry drivers?
No. Pukalani, Makawao, Kula and the rest of Upcountry pay the same price as Wailuku and Kahului. Pukalani is about 20 minutes from the shop via Haleakala Highway, Makawao about 25 and Kula about 30.
Can I get an exact quote before driving in?
Yes. Send the year, make, model and trim, daylight photos of the front of the car, and the coverage you want. The quote comes back for that vehicle, not a range, and the shop confirms it when it sees the paint.
Is PPF cheaper than repainting?
On the panels that get chipped, usually. A full front from $2,249 costs less than repainting and blending a hood and bumper on most vehicles, and the factory paint stays original for resale.
Do you offer financing for PPF?
