What a car wrap costs

Starting prices at a glance

A full vehicle wrap at Offshore starts from $3,999 on a car and $4,500 on an SUV, with trucks in between. A partial wrap starts from $1,999. A basic chrome delete starts from $499. Those are starting prices for the most common vehicles in each class in standard gloss, satin or matte cast film. The table on this page lists the rest, including color-shift, commercial branding and removal.

You will see these same figures on every wrap page on the site. They are the numbers we quote from.

The four things that set your price

Vehicle size. More surface means more vinyl and more hours. A compact sedan and a crew-cab long-bed truck are not the same job, which is why trucks and SUVs have their own starting prices. Body shape matters too: deep bumper recesses, sharp body lines and big mirror housings each take more time to heat-form than flat doors.

Coverage. A full wrap covers every painted panel with seamless edge finishing, and door jamb wrapping is available so factory color does not show when a door opens. A partial wrap covers what you choose: a hood, a roof, mirror caps, accent stripes. It is the cheapest way to change how a car reads from across a parking lot.

Film finish. Gloss, satin and matte cast films from 3M, Avery Dennison, Cheetah Wrap and KPMF share the same starting prices. Color-shift wraps cost more, from $4,500 for a full car and from $5,000 for trucks and SUVs, because the film itself costs more and every panel has to be laid in the same direction so the color moves evenly across the car.

Design complexity. A single-color change is the simplest job. Printed graphics, logos and multi-color layouts add design and layout time, which is why business branding starts from $3,999.98 per vehicle and fleet work is quoted per job.

What the quote includes

Every wrap quote covers surface prep, the film, the installation and the warranty. Offshore backs every wrap with a 3-year warranty. There are no hidden fees added on top; the prices on this page are before Hawaii GET (4.712%).

The one thing that can change the plan is the paint underneath. Vinyl shows what is under it. Chips, peeling clear coat or a fresh body-shop repair that has not fully cured will show through the film or pull up when it comes off. We look at the paint at consultation and tell you before you book.

Chrome delete pricing

Chrome delete is the smallest wrap job on the menu. Door handles and window trim start from $499. A Tesla Model 3 or Model Y starts from $1,000, a truck from $1,199.99, and a full chrome delete covering every bright trim piece starts from $799.

Why a wrap often beats paint on cost

A wrap is not cheaper than every paint job. It is cheaper than a paint job of similar quality, and it is reversible. The factory paint stays under the film, protected from UV and light scratches, and comes off cleanly with professional wrap removal from $399 for a car. For a leased car, or anyone who expects to sell, that matters more than the sticker price. The wrap vs paint comparison walks through the trade-off panel by panel.

How long you get for the money

Cast vinyl lasts 5 to 7 years with proper care: hand washing with pH-neutral soap, no brush car washes, and shade when you can find it. On Maui that last part counts, because the sun is strong all year and salt air settles on cars near the coast. A car that sits outside in an open lot every day will sit toward the short end of that range; a garaged car toward the long end.
