Short answer
Offshore installs ProLayers paint protection film on Porsche 911, Cayenne, Macan, Taycan and Panamera models at 430 Hookahi St in Wailuku. Each model is plotted from its own pattern, and a 911 full front adds the leading edge of the rear fenders, where the front tires throw debris. Full front starts from $2,249 and full body from $6,499.89, with clear gloss or matte stealth film.
Key takeaways
- Every Porsche model gets its own computer-plotted pattern, so nothing is cut on the paint.
- On a 911, the leading edges of the wide rear fenders take chips from the front tires, so a 911 full front covers them.
- The Taycan's low front splitter and wide nose sit right in the debris path, which makes full front the minimum we recommend.
- Cayenne and Macan are often daily drivers, and full front is the usual package on both.
- ProLayers matte film turns a gloss Porsche into a satin stealth finish while protecting it.

How it works
- 01Consultation
Tell us the model, year, color and how the car is driven. We recommend coverage and film finish from there.
- 02Paint inspection
We measure and inspect the paint, note any chips or defects and plan correction where it is needed.
- 03Multi-stage decontamination
Wash, iron decon, clay and panel wipe so the film bonds to bare, clean paint.
- 04Pattern plot and install
ProLayers film is computer-plotted to your Porsche's pattern, applied wet, squeegeed flat and wrapped around every edge the panel allows.
- 05Cure and handover
The car sits overnight while the adhesive sets, then every panel is inspected under light before handover.
What's specific to this vehicle
- 911
- The 911's rear fenders flare out wider than the front track, so the leading edge of each rear haunch sits directly behind the front tire and takes the gravel it throws. A 911 full front covers those edges along with the nose. For a 911 that is tracked or driven daily, full body is worth considering.
- Cayenne and Macan
- The Cayenne and Macan are the Porsche SUVs, often bought as daily drivers that put in regular highway miles, and full front is the usual package on both.
- Taycan
- The Taycan sits low with a wide, smooth nose and a front splitter close to the road. That splitter and the leading edge of the bumper are the most chip-prone surfaces on the car, which is why we treat full front as the minimum on a Taycan.
- Paint
- Porsche's metallic and special-order colors are expensive to blend and repaint, and a resprayed panel on a 911 shows up on a paint meter at resale. Film keeps the original paint original. Light defects are corrected before film goes on so nothing is sealed under it.
- Stealth finish
- ProLayers matte PPF gives a gloss Porsche a satin look with the same protection as clear film. It can be done on the full front or the full car; a matte front with a gloss body leaves a visible line, so full body is worth considering when you choose stealth.
- Coverage
- Cayenne and Macan: full front. 911: full front with the rear fender edges, or full body. Taycan: full front plus rockers. Panamera: full front at minimum, because the long hood takes a lot of strikes. Full body on any Porsche is quoted after inspection.

A pattern for every Porsche
Porsche builds very different cars under one crest, and each one takes damage in a different place. At Offshore, paint protection film for a 911, Cayenne, Macan, Taycan or Panamera is plotted from that model’s own pattern and installed in ProLayers film, clear or matte. Nothing is cut on the paint, and every edge the panel allows is wrapped.
The 911 and its rear fenders
The detail that sets a 911 apart is the rear fenders. They flare out wider than the front track, so the leading edge of each rear haunch sits right behind a front tire and catches the gravel it throws.
A standard full front leaves those edges bare. A 911 full front from Offshore covers them, along with the nose, fenders, mirrors and A-pillars. If you track the car or put real miles on it, consider full body; the Porsche 911 full body PPF coverage guide walks through what that covers panel by panel.
Cayenne, Macan and Panamera
The Cayenne and Macan are often daily drivers, commuting across the island or putting in highway miles out to West Maui, and full front is the usual package on both. The Panamera’s long hood catches a lot of strikes, so full front is the minimum we suggest on one.
The Taycan
The Taycan sits low with a wide, smooth nose and a splitter close to the pavement. That splitter and the bumper’s leading edge are the most chip-prone surfaces on the car. We treat full front as the minimum on a Taycan and suggest adding the rockers, which take sand-blasting from the front tires on a car this low.
Clear or stealth
ProLayers clear film keeps the factory gloss and is nearly invisible once cured. ProLayers matte film turns a gloss Porsche satin while protecting it the same way. Doing the whole car keeps the finish consistent. The trade-offs are laid out in stealth vs gloss PPF, and the finish itself is on the stealth PPF page.
Keeping the paint original
Porsche paint, especially metallic and special-order colors, is expensive to blend, and a resprayed panel shows on a paint meter when the car is sold. Film keeps the original paint original. Light defects are corrected before the film goes on, so nothing is sealed under it.
Shipped to Maui?
A Porsche shipped from the mainland can come to the shop once it is off the boat at Kahului Harbor. Book for a day or two after the expected arrival, since sailings move, and the paint is inspected for anything picked up in transit before film goes on. The vehicle transport handover page covers the timing, and shipped to Maui explains why mainland front tint often fails Hawaii’s 35% rule. Send the model, year, color and how you drive it, and we will recommend the coverage.
Questions
How much does PPF cost for a Porsche on Maui?
Full front starts from $2,249 and full front plus rockers from $2,995.89 with ProLayers clear film. Full body starts from $6,499.89 and is quoted individually after inspection.
Do you PPF the Porsche 911?
Yes. A 911 full front includes the leading edges of the rear fenders, which take chips from the front tires. Full body is also available.
Can you do a matte stealth finish on a Porsche?
Yes. ProLayers matte PPF gives a gloss car a satin finish with the same protection as clear film. Doing the full car keeps the finish consistent.
How long does Porsche PPF take?
An impact zone is same-day. A full front takes one to two days including overnight cure. Full body takes longer and is scheduled after inspection.
My Porsche is being shipped to Maui. When should I book PPF?
Book for a day or two after the car is due off the boat at Kahului Harbor, since sailings move. The paint is inspected for anything picked up in transit before film goes on, and if the car wears mainland window tint, the front windows can be metered against Hawaii's 35% rule at the same visit.
Should I coat the car after PPF?
It is a good idea. A ceramic coating over the film and the glass makes the car easier to wash and keeps the film's surface clean.
