I mean, what are you even saying?
First, even professionals can't fill paint chips and make it look brand new, especially if there are a lot of them. If there aren't very many, it still won't look brand new when corrected, but it's par for the course that some chips be present, so in that case you shouldn't have bought PPF.
Second, not all cars are easy to repaint and match, even new ones with no fading at all. If the car is straight black or white (rare) then you can have some decent success, but have you checked the prices of doing that lately? These and many other forums are rife with threads about having some small scuff and not getting the paint matched well, then having it redone and still not being happy with it. And certain put me in the group that doesn't buy cars that have had paintwork.
I hate to disagree with you, but it sounds like you're giving advice based on your personal experience vs the general public's, and certainly over-simplifying damage, chip repair, and repainting.
