That's not bad. Every body shop is going to be different, but it shouldn't be a lot of money. And it beats having it turn yellow on you because you cheaped out at the end.

Clear coat is not a problem. You can get 3M paint defender for 25 bucks at Walmart , whatever
Sun UV is a BIG BIG problem as Seibon ( although a very reputive seller ,reviewed by many), carbon creation (mine hood) does not provide UV clear coat (if they havei doubt they have to proudly advertise it).

The only solution now(as i know) is turtle wax + merguras that strongly advertise they provide UV protectant on their product.

keep me informed. Now i still hide my Z on a storage until i can find a good UV solution
