[QUOTE="1FASFKR, post: 16915259, member: 152077"] I've done both. I had paint correction and ceramic coating done to my 18 GT350R. It turned out beautiful at a cost of $1700. I had paint correction and Full Llumar Platinum PPF done to my 22 GT500at a cost of $8500. I've seen guys get a bargain $6k PPF install job and it was horrible. No way I could live with it on a $90k car. My experience is that you get what you pay for with a PPF installer. The 3 main brands of PPF 3M, Llumar/SunTek and Expel...are so close it's a very negligible in appearance. However, I've had an Expel installer tell me that Llumar Platinum/Suntek had the best clarity. At that point I chose the better warranty which was Llumar with a 10 yr warranty. An experienced PPF installer makes all the difference in the world. Experience usually isn't cheap either. Ceramic is definitely cheaper but it will not stop a rock chip. It does have a hardness quality from the coating tho. Bugs will clean off easier. The hydrophobic properties will last a couple years if properly maintained. I had a 5 year warranty on my System X Diamond coating. It was a great option for a non-daily garaged car. PPF has self healing properties for light scratches and swirls. Will repel rock chips. Not boulders but the kind of sand blasting you might encounter on a highway drive. PPF hydrophobic properties are excellent as well. [/QUOTE]
