I have a quote from a local shop who is willing to do full body PPF (Premium Shield Self Healing) and a 3 year Ceramic Coat (Feynlabs) for $5500 total, including tax. This is lower than other shops I have called in the area, and this shop has great reviews on Yelp, so they seem trustworthy. I like the idea of Full-Body so as to not have miscolored panels next to each other after a few years.

I'm having difficulty decided whether or not it's even worth it to get the PPF and ceramic coat at all. My truck will be parked outside in the Texas sun 24/7 (never under any trees, thankfully). And this will mostly be used as a Daily Driver outside of a few camping and very light offloading trips every year.

I like to keep my vehicles clean, but I do not obsess over it. Do y'all think it's worth it to go with the PPF/Ceramic? Is it overkill? This wasn't something I ever thought about with my last car, but it seems to be all the rage these days, and I think it's skewing my decision. I've spent more time agonizing over paint the past few days than I did making the decision to buy a 4runner.
