You keep schlepping this nonsense that multiple coats of ceramic coating is going to stop a rock chip which is COMPLETE BS. The functional hardness of applied ceramics is NOT exponential. Its quite possible that the surface tension of multiple coats of ceramic would make it more likely to crack or chip. MORE doesn't necessarily mean better......
The whole reason paint film DOES protect against rock chips and scratches is because its actually soft / flexible. It absorbs the energy so its not transferred to the paint.....If you're driving through a big enough war zone that you beat up the film, you just replace it. No need to repaint your baby.....
As for cost, if you can apply decals, you can apply PPF to some simple panels yourself......
Bottom line, if you're looking for the best protection for your paint, PPF wins hands down. If for some reason you can't afford PPF, ceramic will help, but it's not a replacement..... Its a 20th century wax.......

Applying multi coats makes perfect sense. Your theory is rather odd. I guess Ill just add one coat of clear coat to my paint job. NO! you add layers of Clear Coat. Ceramic Coatings provide a harder barrier and is actually strong then clear coat.
Again: On average it cost $1,200+ for a clear bra.
Ceramic Coating Kit: $100
So technically I have $1,100 left over for a possible paint job.
Not sure why you aren't seeing the price difference here! The both do work. Which one is cheaper??
