Short answer
Offshore Window Tinting installs the 3M 1080 Series Supreme Wrapping Film lineup in Wailuku, Maui: 250-plus colors across 8 series on a 3.5 mil cast vinyl with the Comply air-release adhesive and a 3-year outdoor warranty. Full color changes start from $3,999 and partial wraps from $1,999. 3M's successor 2080 series uses the same color system and is quoted on request.
Key takeaways
- 3M 1080 is a 3.5 mil cast vinyl, thicker than the 3.2 mil Avery and Cheetah films, with clean removal for up to 3 years.
- The Comply air-release adhesive lets air escape through the adhesive during install, so panels can be repositioned and squeegeed bubble-free.
- Eight series: Gloss, Matte, Satin, Metallic, Satin Metallic, Brushed, Carbon Fiber and Gloss Flip color-shift.
- Batch-to-batch color consistency is why 3M is the default for fleet graphics and multi-vehicle builds.
- Full wraps in 3M film start from $3,999 and most leave in three business days.

The reference film
The 3M 1080 Series Supreme Wrapping Film is the cast vinyl many installers measure other wrap films against, known for conformability, color consistency and how easy it is to install. Offshore keeps it in the lineup beside Avery Dennison, Cheetah Wrap and KPMF for every vehicle wrap consultation.
Two things set 3M apart on the install. The film is 3.5 mil, a shade thicker than the 3.2 mil Avery and Cheetah films, which gives it a little more body on big flat panels. And the Comply air-release adhesive is forgiving: micro-channels in the adhesive let air escape under the squeegee, so a panel can be laid, lifted, repositioned and pushed flat without bubbles. On a Cybertruck door or a Sprinter side that is the difference between a clean panel and a redo.
1080 and 2080
3M has moved the Supreme Wrapping Film line forward to the 2080 series. Most customers still know the 1080 names, so this page keeps them; when a color has crossed to 2080, Offshore quotes the current film and confirms the specs with your quote.
The eight series
Gloss is the most popular finish in the line, with paint-like depth and a wide range of OEM-inspired and custom colors; the gloss wrap page covers the finish.
Matte is flat and non-reflective, engineered for even coverage with no hot spots or texture variation. Satin sits between the two with a soft low sheen that suits luxury builds. Metallic adds flake in gloss and matte variants.
Satin Metallic is the closest thing to a factory OEM metallic finish available in vinyl and is popular on luxury SUVs, German performance cars and trucks. Brushed mimics machined aluminum and brushed steel on hoods and roofs. Carbon Fiber is 3D-textured to replicate a real weave and is the common choice for hoods, roofs, mirror caps, pillars and interior trim.
Gloss Flip is 3M’s color-shift series: each film moves between two distinct colors with the viewing angle, which the color-shift wrap page explains in more detail.
Fleet and multi-panel work
Consistent color matching across production batches is the reason 3M is the default film for commercial fleet wraps. When five pickups and two vans for a Maui contractor or tour company need to look identical in a parking lot, the film ordered in March has to match the film ordered in August, and 3M’s batch control is what makes that reliable. The same consistency matters on a single vehicle when a hood and a fender come off different rolls.
Installation and care
A full 3M color change takes three business days at 430 Hookahi St in Wailuku: disassembly and decontamination, panels laid and post-heated so the film locks into every curve, then jambs, edges and reassembly. Partial panels usually take 1 to 2 days. The 3M outdoor warranty is 3 years; the shop’s workmanship terms are on the warranty page.
Hand wash with pH-neutral soap, keep matte and satin films away from wax and polish, rinse off salt spray after a beach day, and avoid brush car washes. Request a quote with the 3M color name and your vehicle, and the shop will confirm whether it ships as 1080 or 2080 before the roll is ordered.
Questions
Does Offshore install 3M wrap film?
Yes. Offshore installs 3M 1080 Series Supreme Wrapping Film and confirms the exact film and color with your quote.
What about 3M 2080? Is 1080 discontinued?
3M has moved its Supreme Wrapping Film line to the 2080 series. Offshore quotes the current 2080 film when a color has moved across and confirms the exact film with your quote.
What is the Comply adhesive?
3M's air-release adhesive has micro-channels that let trapped air escape under the squeegee. The installer can lay a panel, lift and reposition it, then push it flat without bubbles, which matters most on long flat panels like a hood or a van side.
How is 3M different from Avery SW900?
3M 1080 is 3.5 mil against SW900's 3.2 mil, and it brings the carbon fiber and Gloss Flip series. Avery has the larger catalog and ColorFlow and Conform Chrome. Both carry 3-year outdoor warranties and both are installed here.
Does 3M carbon fiber look real?
The 1080 Carbon Fiber series is 3D-textured to replicate the weave of real carbon, which is why it is the common choice for hoods, roofs, mirror caps and pillars. It is a texture, not a print, so it reads correctly up close.
How long does a 3M wrap last on Maui?
The outdoor warranty is 3 years and the film removes cleanly without residue inside that window. Garaged or covered parking and hand washing routinely go past it; brush car washes and parking in full sun by the beach shorten it.
