I got a couple things done at once. But if you want a quality application of a ceramic like opticoat or Cquartz, you're going to have to pay for paint correction by the hour. I got lucky because I got my new car in there about a week after I picked it up.
But like I said, I did not go to the cheapest shop, I went to one with stellar reviews.
My last BRZ had the dealer install 3M, and whatever wasn't applied correctly I made note of and they fixed or trimmed. It was added into my financing too, which was nice. Only bummer is they used the film cut-outs that end at the edges and halfway up the hood, you'd be much better off getting a custom job done.
After spending that much on CQuartz I balked, now with a few chips in my hood I wish I hadn't.
Realistically, you don't need 3M on plastic parts like the bumper because they're far more resielient and easier to fix. I'd worry mainly about the hood and fenders, and the area between the door and rear wheel seems to be a rock magnet.
