Short answer
Offshore installs ProLayers paint protection film on the Ford F-150 on Maui with computer-cut patterns for your year and trim. The hood and front bumper package is the usual starting point, from $1,495.98; full front starts from $2,249, full front plus rocker panels from $2,995.89 and full body from $6,499.89. The Raptor uses wider body patterns, and the Lightning takes the same packages as the standard truck.
Key takeaways
- The hood and front bumper take most of the rock chip damage on Maui highways, which makes them the usual F-150 starting package.
- Rocker panels take road debris and door dings, so rocker PPF makes sense for a truck that parks in tight spots.
- Patterns are computer-cut for your F-150 year and trim on our plotter, never hand-cut on the paint.
- The Raptor has a wider body and its own patterns; the Lightning gets the same packages as the standard F-150.
- Good film is close to invisible, so the truck looks stock while the paint underneath stays protected.

What's specific to this vehicle
- Body
- Since 2015 the F-150 has used an aluminum-alloy body. Aluminum does not rust where a chip breaks the paint the way steel does, but it is harder and more expensive to repair and repaint, so keeping the hood and the fenders chip-free saves real money at trade-in.
- Coverage
- Hood and bumper is the starting point because those panels take the chips at highway speed. Full front takes the film over the whole hood and the fenders. Add rocker panels and door edges for a truck that tows, runs gravel or parks in tight lots. Full body is for trucks their owners plan to keep.
- Raptor
- The Raptor has a wider body, flared fenders and its own front end, so it uses wider patterns that a standard F-150 template will not fit. Its off-road use makes full front plus rockers a natural fit.
- Lightning
- The F-150 Lightning has the same front end as the standard F-150, so it gets the same PPF packages. Film has no effect on charging or the front sensors.
- Paint
- We inspect the paint for chips and scratches before anything goes on, then wash, clay and wipe down every panel. Chips are noted and touched up so nothing gets sealed under the film.

Where an F-150 gets hit
The damage pattern on an F-150 is consistent. Gravel off the shoulder of the Mokulele or the Honoapiilani lands on the hood leading edge and the front bumper first. That is why hood and bumper is the usual starting paint protection film package on this truck. Full front takes the film over the whole hood and both fenders, which removes the visible line across the hood and covers the fender tops that rock spray hits next.
Lower down, the rocker panels take road debris and the door edges take dings in tight parking lots. Add rockers if the truck tows, works job sites or parks in tight lots; it is the package we recommend for any truck that runs gravel or red dirt roads.
Aluminum is the reason
Since 2015 the F-150 body has been aluminum alloy. It does not rust at a chip the way steel does, but aluminum panel repair and repaint cost more, and a repainted hood is visible to the next buyer. Film keeps the factory paint intact so the truck keeps its value.
Raptor and Lightning
The Raptor has a wider body and flared fenders, so it uses wider patterns; a standard F-150 template will not fit it. Full front plus rockers suits a Raptor because the truck is built to leave the road. The Lightning has the same front end as the standard F-150 and takes the same packages.
Cut, never trimmed on paint
We plot every F-150 pattern on our computer cutter for your year and trim, so no blade touches the paint. Before install we inspect for existing chips, then decontaminate, clay and wipe down each panel. Film goes on wet and is heat-formed around the edges. Clear ProLayers film is close to invisible; matte is available for a satin look.
Pairing it
Film pairs well with window tint and a ceramic coating over the paint and film. All three in one visit is laid out on F-150 protection. Send the year, trim and how the truck is used and we will quote the coverage.
