Ford F-150 protection

Tint for the cab, film for the front end, coating for the rest, all on Maui. One shop, one drop-off, patterns for every current F-150 cab and trim.

Short answer

Offshore protects the Ford F-150 three ways at 430 Hookahi St in Wailuku: ProLayers ceramic window tint for the cab, ProLayers paint protection film for the front end, and ceramic coating for the whole truck. Full front PPF starts from $2,249 and a 2-year ceramic coating starts from $499 plus a truck surcharge from $100; tint is quoted by labor hours for your cab. Owners who want all three can book them in one visit, with the timing confirmed in the quote.

Key takeaways

  • Tint, PPF and ceramic coating each solve a different problem on an F-150: heat in the cab, rock chips on the front end and staining and washing on the rest of the paint.
  • Full front PPF starts from $2,249, and adding rocker panels and door edges starts from $2,995.89, which matters on a truck that sees red dirt and gravel roads.
  • Ceramic coating starts from $499 for a 2-year coating, with a truck surcharge from $100 over sedan pricing.
  • SuperCrew, SuperCab and Regular Cab trucks use different tint patterns, and the quote follows the cab.
  • Lifted F-150s are welcome; tell us the lift height when you book.

How it works

  1. 01
    Send the year, cab and trim

    XL to Platinum, Tremor, Raptor or Lightning, plus the cab and whether it has a slider. That sets the tint hours and the PPF pattern.

  2. 02
    Inspect the paint

    We wash and decontaminate the truck, note existing chips and decide whether it needs a correction step before film and coating.

  3. 03
    Tint and film

    Tint goes on the glass while the front end is filmed. Both are computer-cut; nothing is trimmed on your paint or your glass.

  4. 04
    Coat

    The coating goes over the paint and over the cured PPF, so the whole truck sheds water and dirt the same way.

  5. 05
    Cure and hand over

    Every panel and window is checked before pickup, and you leave with care guidance for each product installed.

What's specific to this vehicle

Generations
The 13th generation (2015 to 2020) introduced the aluminum body, and the 14th generation (2021 on) kept it with a new front end and a 2024 refresh. Bumpers, grilles and headlight shapes differ between them and between trims, so PPF patterns are plotted by year and trim, not by 'F-150'.
Cab
SuperCrew has four full doors, SuperCab has smaller rear-hinged doors, and Regular Cab has two doors and the back glass. Each takes its own tint pattern. A SuperCrew with back glass is the standard four-door-plus-back-glass job in our estimator.
Paint
Ford paint on the aluminum panels is not soft, but a chip on the hood leading edge goes straight to bare metal and shows bright silver on a dark truck. That is the case for film on the front end of any F-150 that runs daily highway miles across the island.
ADAS
Co-Pilot360 and BlueCruise read the road through a camera behind the windshield at the mirror and a radar behind the grille or the lower bumper. Our tint film has no metal layer, and PPF is cut around the radar panel and the camera window rather than over them.
Tint levels
Front doors stay at 35% VLT or lighter, measured through film and glass as Hawaii requires, with a 6% tolerance at inspection. Rear doors and the back glass can run any shade because the truck has mirrors on both sides. The windshield takes a top strip down to the AS-1 line, or a clear V10 or V16 windshield film that keeps the AS-1 area at 70%. The truck leaves with the compliance certificate.
Coverage
Full front is the starting point. Add rocker panels and door edges if the truck runs gravel or tows, and add the bed caps and tailgate if you load gear over the side. A Raptor that goes off-road is a good case for full body.

Three jobs, one truck

An F-150 on Maui takes damage three different ways, and each service handles one of them. Window tint keeps the cab cool and the dash from cracking. Paint protection film stops the rock chips that a front end collects on the highway. Ceramic coating makes the rest of the paint shed water, bugs and red dirt so a wash takes minutes.

You can do any one of them or all three in one visit, so this page puts them side by side.

Tint by cab

SuperCrew, SuperCab and Regular Cab trucks each have their own door glass, and most have the three-piece back glass with a slider in the middle. We tint all three pieces and cut the center one clear of the slider track so it still opens. Front doors stay at 35% VLT or lighter, as Hawaii window tint law requires; because a pickup has mirrors on both sides, the rear doors and back glass can run any shade.

On a truck that sits at a jobsite all day, the V10 or V16 ceramic tier is the one that makes the seat bearable at five o’clock. The F-150 window tint page goes deeper.

Film for the front end

Since 2015 the F-150 has had an aluminum body. A chip in the hood goes straight through to bright metal, and on a black or Antimatter Blue truck it shows from across a parking lot. Full front PPF covers the hood, fenders, bumper, mirrors and A-pillars, and it starts from $2,249. Trucks that run red dirt and gravel roads or tow a trailer behind them benefit from rockers and door edges too, from $2,995.89. The front radar and the windshield camera stay uncovered.

Raptor and Lightning

The Raptor’s wide fender flares and tall hood take more film. A Raptor often needs more than the full front because it is built to be driven where rocks are. The Lightning has a closed front panel with a full-width light bar, a frunk and no tailpipe soot, so the usual setup is full front film and a ceramic coating over the whole truck.

Coating over everything

A ceramic coating goes on after the film cures, over the paint and the PPF. A 2-year coating starts from $499 plus a truck surcharge from $100. The 5-year tier adds a light correction and wheel coating, which is the one we suggest on a new truck that will keep its paint for years.

Lifted trucks and scheduling

Lifted F-150s are welcome; tell us the lift height when you book. Tint alone is a same-day job; when you book tint, full front PPF and coating together, the quote confirms how long the truck stays. Send the year, cab and trim and what you want covered, and the quote comes back with each service priced so you can pick.

Questions

How much does it cost to tint an F-150 on Maui?

Tint is quoted from the labor hours for your cab and the film tier, plus Hawaii GET, with a deposit to book. A SuperCrew with back glass is the standard truck job; a Regular Cab is smaller. Request a quote with the year and cab for the exact figure.

How much does PPF cost for an F-150?

An impact zone starts from $1,495.98, a full front from $2,249 and a full front with rockers from $2,995.89. Full body starts from $6,499.89, with Raptors quoted after we see the fender flares.

Do you work on lifted F-150s?

Yes. Lifted F-150s are welcome; tell us the lift height when you book.

Should I do tint, PPF and coating at the same time?

It saves a trip and the coating can go over fresh film. We confirm the timing for all three in the quote; tint alone is a same-day job.

What suits a Lightning?

Full front PPF plus a ceramic coating is the common Lightning setup. The closed front panel and light bar are one large exposed surface, and the coating keeps the frunk lid and the bed easy to clean.

Does PPF affect BlueCruise or the front radar?

No. The film is cut around the radar panel and the windshield camera window, and the tint film has no metal in it.
