Everyone seems to be worried about their trucks and how the paint/chrome is going to hold up. We all regret that first paint chip, parking lot ding or scratch from a bush or tree limb including me! The fact is these trucks are going to deteriorate in the environment regardless of how well we take care of them. No amount of PPF, Ceramic coating, tons of polish/wax and wraps are going to resist the environment. I believe you should purchase what you feel is "Candy to Your Eyes" as this is what is going to put that big smile on your face while driving. Don't get me wrong, if you have the money to add PPF or want to Ceramic coat your truck go for it, but don't expect it to last for years. I myself personally purchased a truck Sport Appearance package because painted bumpers and black wheels is what's in today, therefore I would expect to be able to resale at a better value in today's market. Then again, I don't need to keep up with the Jone's and will probably keep this truck, Lord willing, for 15-20 years. My 2004 Avalanche is still in awesome shape inside and out because I take care of my vehicles.
