I am planning to get my truck wrapped soon. I think I've settled on vinyl vs. colored ppf given the added choice of colors. I also don't love the added cost of the ppf. That said, I am worried about rock chips and dings on the vinyl over time.

I am getting lots of different advice from shops around here. I am leaning toward the following options:

  • 3M 2080 series vinyl wrap
  • ceramic coat over the vinyl and windshield
  • ppf over the vinyl on the bumper (and maybe the hood?)
I've never done any of this before, so looking for thoughts on the best option to not break the bank. Should I PPF the hood? What about ceramic coating the black plastic pieces over the wheels and front bumper? Anything I am missing or should skip?

Thoughts on what cost should be for a project like this?
