I would have to disagree with you. I have had to replace both my entire front bumper film and my right front quarter panel film (not at the same time) because they did their job. Something came up, hit the film, tore a hole in it and it had to be replaced.

In both instances, I went to the same place that installed it and I got the car back better than before with new film.

Keep in mind that with painting, it costs A LOT more than just taking off and replacing film. Plus it takes 2-3 days for it to fully dry then put it back on, and guess what, the moment you drive your car with the new paint, it's immediately exposed to more rock chips.

At least with film, it doesn't chip, it doesn't show anything that hits it unless it's big enough to rip a hole in it.

Bolded for emphasis...

PPF doesn't scratch, or chip, or crack, the only reason to take it off is if something big enough cuts a hole in it. The material used is practically the same stuff you'd put on your cell phone's screen to protect it, for the same reasons. Film might seem like it costs a lot, but iI'd rather pay ~$400 to replace the film on the front bumper and get the car back the same day than go through painting.
