what type of PPF are you doing? full car? what's it going to cost? I'm planning on going SunTek or maybe something else. I've had both XPEL and SunTek and I felt like SunTek was a bit better overall
Just the Full Front end XPEL PPF including the grills, mirrors and side rocker panels, rear luggage loading area etc, 50% ceramic tints all around, Opti ceramic coating all over including the wheels. $3k all in. He's doing a paint correction before doing the work

A lot of places were giving me a base quote of $2200 for front end PPF and then jacking up the price when they said 'if it needs a correction it'll be another $800' so I feel like I'm getting tints and ceramic thrown in at a decent price
Yeah that dude undervalued himself pretty drastically.

Definitely won't be in business long giving everything away like that.
I dunno about that. He's a one man show so limited over head. Most of the cost is labor, materials are not that expensive. Pretty nice money for a few days of work. I think it's a fair price. Some other places that charge more probably are just paying away the excess on additional staff and over head
