If it's a low-slung sports car that you expect to drive often, and don't plan to sell in the near-term, I'd say do it.
My S2000 didn't have clear bra when I bought it - it was fairly low kms (under 100,000km, so 60k-ish miles) and the nose was peppered, the fenders and hood had little dents and chips (touched-up) and the windshield was sand-blasted (driving into a sunset is fun).

I finally bit the bullet and had to pay a big chunk of change to get the dents repaired, the paint restored, and then PPF'd all-around, since I don't plan to sell the car for a long time. And if I do sell it, it should help resale value.

"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of the cure" - or "it'll cost you a lot less now to PPF than it will to restore the paint, fix the chips and PPF it later"
