Your company vehicle is more than just transportation — it’s a rolling advertisement. At Kona Impact, we specialize in vehicle graphics in Kailua-Kona and throughout the Big Island of Hawaiʻi — from cut vinyl lettering and magnetic signage to full-color printed graphics for cars, trucks, and vans. Let your vehicle spread your brand wherever you go.
Local expertise & climate-smart materials. We know Hawaiʻi’s UV, salt air, and wind conditions. We select high-grade cast vinyl and laminates designed to withstand these challenges, rather than using cheaper, temporary materials.
Wide range of options. Whether you need simple cut-vinyl signage, printed graphics on doors or windows, vehicle magnets for flexible use, or see-through window film — we handle it.
High ROI mobile advertising. Vehicle graphics transform your vehicle into a 24/7 brand presence — delivering thousands of impressions without ongoing advertising expenses.
Full-service from design to installation. We consult on the best design for your vehicle, prepare the artwork, select the materials, and professionally install it — saving you time and ensuring quality.
We provide targeted vehicle graphics services to meet your branding, fleet, or business needs, including:
Cut Vinyl Lettering & Logos – a simple and cost-effective way to brand vehicles or add contact info.
Printed & Laminated Vehicle Graphics – full-color imagery and messaging for side panels, tailgates, or windows.
Vehicle Magnets – removable graphics that offer flexible use (weekend, side-business, seasonal). Pro hint: our waste transfer stations do not accept commercial waste, so if you have a dual-use vehicle, magnets might save you some grief.
See-Through Window Graphics – printed material that covers vehicle windows but preserves visibility from inside.
Fleet Branding – uniform graphics across multiple vehicles for a consistent brand presence in your service area.
Consultation & Design – we guide you on what to include, how to keep messaging simple and effective, and how to design for maximum legibility.
Massive exposure — for one cost. A branded vehicle travels throughout Kailua-Kona, Kona coast roads, and Big Island routes, serving as a mobile advertisement even when parked.
Cost-effective marketing. Unlike recurring ad spend, vehicle graphics are a one-time investment that lasts for years when done properly.
Credibility and trust. Professionally branded vehicles communicate that you are a serious, established business and build brand recognition locally.
Brand consistency. By matching your vehicle graphics with your other signage and marketing materials, you create a unified, memorable presence.
Designed for Hawaiʻi conditions. With the right materials and installation, vehicle graphics can maintain quality in sun, salt air, and high traffic environments.
Vehicle type & surface area. The size, panels, windows, and door structure affect design, materials, and cost.
Material quality. Low-cost vinyl may fade quickly in Hawaiʻi’s intense UV and salt air. Kona Impact emphasizes cast vinyl + laminate for longevity.
Messaging and readability. Your design must be clear at a glance. Include brand name/logo, key services or tagline, phone or website. Avoid clutter.
Installation and location. Proper installation ensures the graphic adheres well and lasts. Also consider parking location (salt exposure, shade) to extend life.
Budget vs lifespan. Investing a bit more upfront in quality materials gives better long-term value and avoids early fading or peeling.
Maintenance & care. Regular gentle washing, avoiding harsh chemicals, and parking in the shade when possible will keep your vehicle’s graphics looking great longer.
Consultation & Quote – We assess your vehicle, discuss your brand and goals, review design options, and provide a free quote.

Q. What is the minimum size or cost for vehicle graphics?
A. At Kona Impact, we work with a wide range — from small door-panel vinyl lettering to full side-vehicle graphics. Each job is quoted based on size, complexity, materials, and installation.
Q. How long will the graphics last in Hawaiʻi’s climate?
A. With proper materials and installation, vertical surfaces using cast vinyl and laminate can last many years. We avoid recommending high-exposure wraps on horizontal surfaces (hood/roof) in Hawaiʻi due to intense sun.
Q. Can we update the graphics later if we rebrand or change phone number?
A. Yes — many vehicle graphics are designed to be modular or replaceable. We’ll discuss options for easy updates, and using separate panels or magnets can make changes smoother.

FAQ for Vehicle Signs
What is the life of ….?
Hawaii has a few elements that negatively affect the life of signs: heat, UV light, salty air and wind. If your vehicle is parked with the your signs South-facing and near the ocean, they will last less time. Cut vinyl, especially solid color vinyl, has the longest life—several years. Printed see-through vinyl has the shortest life.
Do you do installation?
Yes, we always quote prices to include installation. Installing car or truck graphics is a very time-consuming and unforgiving process. Our professional installer can ensure that its done right, and if he makes a mistake, we pay for a reprint of the material, not you!
How much is…?
Here are some ballpark figures, but each job requires us to speak with you before quoting any price. Magnets with a basic design are $100/set. Cut vinyl (per location): $75+, See-through window graphics for back window: $250+. Full graphics on a commercial vehicle are usually $1200 and up.
Do you wrap vehicles?
No. Wrapping a vehicle can cost $4-10,000+ and take a week or more to install. The problem with most full wraps is that they are notoriously prone to tears, bubbling, and fading–all things that one would expect when you put big sheets of vinyl on a vehicle in Hawaii’s sun. Cut vinyl and panels of vinyl on a vehicle are susceptible to the same wear and tear issues, but they offer a greater value because a vehicle can have a lot of graphics on it and still be about 1/3 the cost of a wrap. If part of the graphics becomes damaged (by driving down a tree-lined street, for example), only a small part needs to be replaced. Fixing a big tear on a full wrap can be very costly. We do not do color change wraps.
