OP, the prices you were quoted seem reasonable and even favorable relative to US pricing. I understand full PPF is en vogue but I suggest skipping it and going front clip + rockers.

I decided to use the one in Sevilla, he is including covering the carbon buckets and inside carbon.
I've been in the US for the past 13 years, but I'm from San Sebastian and lived mostly in Barcelona

I'm sure for that price you are getting the royal treatment. The biggest expense in ppf is labor, and in Spain labor is cheap

For the price of full PPF, you can buy a plotter and a 20ft x 72in roll of material and do it yourself.

I would put serious cash money down that 99 people out of 100 that did just what you suggested would fail in frustration and still get it done professionally afterwards having wasted all that money on materials. Either that or they would just deal with the work looking like crap. Who wants to do that on $100,000 plus car?
