The cost for ceramic coating after you do PPF is really only a few hundred dollars unless you go to a shop that is overcharging you for this addition.

The bottom line is that an educated customer is your best consumer and you need to let the shop know you are savvy, that you know it shouldn't be too expensive and negotiate!
