Short answer
A partial wrap covers selected panels instead of the whole vehicle. At Offshore a multi-panel partial wrap (hood, roof and accents) starts at $1,999 in 3M 1080 or Avery Dennison SW900 cast vinyl, and most are done same day or next day. Single-panel wraps like a hood or tailgate are quoted below that.
Key takeaways
- A partial wrap changes the look of one or more panels while the rest of the vehicle stays factory paint.
- Hood, roof, tailgate and accent panels are the common choices, and two-tone trucks are a classic layout.
- Film is 3M 1080 or Avery Dennison SW900 cast vinyl, both with a 3-year outdoor warranty.
- Partial wraps are often done the same day or the next day, depending on how many panels are involved.
- Every partial wrap is reversible, so it works on leased vehicles.

How it works
- 01Pick the panels and finish
You tell us which panels and the look you want. We show physical samples so you see the finish against your paint before anything is cut.
- 02Prep the panels
The panels being wrapped get a full wash, iron decontamination, and a clay pass. Any existing chips or peeling clear coat are noted before film goes on.
- 03Remove what is in the way
Badges, roof rails, mirror caps, and some trim come off so film tucks under them instead of being cut around them.
- 04Install
Cast vinyl is laid panel by panel, post-heated at every edge and recess, and trimmed with knifeless tape so the paint is never touched by a blade.
- 05Quality check and pickup
We inspect every edge, reinstall hardware, and go over care with you. Most partials are ready the same day or the next.

When a partial wrap is the right call
A partial wrap is the entry point to vehicle wraps. You change the panels that define the look of the car and leave the rest alone. For a lot of drivers that is the whole project: a black roof on a white SUV, a satin hood on a gloss truck, or a tailgate in a finish that matches new wheels.
The reasons people choose a partial over a full wrap are practical. It costs a fraction of a full color change. It is often a same-day or next-day job instead of a three-day drop-off. And because every panel is still factory paint underneath, the vehicle returns to stock whenever you want.
The four usual panels
Roof. The classic single panel. A gloss black roof on a sedan or crossover reads as a factory two-tone option, and it hides a roof that has already lost clear coat to the sun. We pull roof rails and antenna bases so edges tuck instead of being cut around.
Hood. Hoods have the most complex curves on the vehicle, so this is where film quality matters. Cast vinyl stretches into the center bulge and the cowl recess without lifting later. Satin and matte hoods also cut glare on an afternoon drive into the sun on Honoapiilani Highway.
Tailgate. Truck owners wrap the tailgate for contrast, for a blacked-out badge area, or to cover a tailgate that has been scratched by cargo. It is one of the fastest panels to do.
Accents. Mirror caps, pillars, lower doors, and fender vents. Done in gloss black, these are the pieces of a chrome delete; done in a color, they turn into a two-tone layout.
Two-tone trucks
Two-tone is a classic partial wrap style. A body-color truck with a contrasting hood and roof, or a cab wrapped and the bed left alone, suits F-150, Silverado and Ram trucks especially well. Because the wrapped panels are large and flat, the film holds up well to brush washes and highway miles.
Film choice
We install 3M 1080 and Avery Dennison SW900. Both are cast films, which means they are made to stretch over compound curves without shrinking back, and both come with a 3-year outdoor warranty and clean removal within that window. Gloss, satin, and matte are stocked; metallic, brushed, and color-shift finishes are ordered per project. Satin and matte need a little more care, since a wax or polish will leave a shiny patch.
Care
Hand wash or a touchless wash only. Skip the brush wash for the first month while the adhesive finishes bonding, and do not pressure-wash directly at an edge. Keep polishes and waxes off matte and satin film. Bird droppings come off sooner rather than later, especially in summer.
Scheduling
Partial wraps at the shop on Hookahi St are often a same-day or next-day job, depending on the number of panels. Tell us the vehicle, the panels, and the finish you have in mind when you request a quote, and we will come back with a number and a date.
Questions
How much does a partial wrap cost on Maui?
A multi-panel partial wrap starts at $1,999, and a hood on its own starts from $500. Other single panels, such as a tailgate, are quoted on their own; film choice and finish set the final number.
What counts as a partial wrap?
Any wrap that covers specific panels rather than the whole vehicle: a hood, a roof, a tailgate, mirrors, pillars, or a combination. The rest of the car stays factory paint.
How long does a partial wrap take?
Most partials are ready the same day or the next, depending on how many panels are involved. A partial wrap with a chrome delete takes 1 to 2 days.
What is the classic partial wrap?
A gloss or satin black roof on sedans and SUVs, and a contrasting hood or roof on trucks for a two-tone look. Both pair naturally with a chrome delete.
Will the wrapped panel match the rest of the car?
If you want a match, we color-sample against your paint. Most partial wraps are chosen to contrast on purpose, so an exact match is rarely the goal.
Can a partial wrap be removed?
Yes. 3M and Avery Dennison cast vinyl removes cleanly for up to 3 years. See our wrap removal page for timing and pricing.
How long does a partial wrap last?
Both films carry a 3-year outdoor warranty. Hand washing and shade parking stretch the life well past that under Maui sun.
Can I add a chrome delete to a partial wrap?
Yes. Chrome trim is blacked out in a matching finish, with black badges available, and it is priced as the partial plus the chrome delete, which starts from $499.
Which finishes can I choose for a partial wrap?
Gloss, satin and matte are stocked in 3M 1080 and Avery Dennison SW900. Metallic, brushed and color-shift finishes are ordered per project.
Can I put a partial wrap on a leased vehicle?
Yes. Every partial wrap is reversible, and the panels underneath are still factory paint, so the vehicle returns to stock whenever you want.
How do I care for a partial wrap?
Hand wash or use a touchless wash. Skip the brush wash for the first month while the adhesive finishes bonding, do not pressure-wash directly at an edge, and keep polish and wax off matte and satin film.
