I also had a quote for $6-7k for the entire car (using Xpel) plus paint correction at a shop in Gainesville, GA. Hence why I went with Anchor Room PPF. Of note the Anchor Room PPF is only 6 mil vs the 10 mil Skye has. So far I've been happy with it on my weekend warrior, but you may desire a thicker PPF.My quote was 3K for partial and ceramic. Prep included. 6K for the whole thing.
Too late. But the last car still looked fine after 4 years, it was hard to see where the PPF started.Just don't do partial panels, ie half the hood, half the quartet panel. Over time that edge will become pronounced and very obvious. Also, the paint will fade a different rate, so if/when you need to replace/remove it, you have a very defined appearance difference.
Always do full panels if not having the entire vehicle covered with PPF.
