Advice? PPF/Stone Chips/Tint

2023 M8 GC
~1200 miles.
Was planning on getting XPEL full front PPF - got two stone chips - as shown below - I wanted to wait for the break in service before I got the PPF (overtly being cautious, first BMW in over a decade)
Service guy at dealership: option #1 DIY touch up paint, option #2 get input from our body shop (which will be tomorrow)
PPF person said - leave it, I'll put PPF on it and it will be fine.


I also got XPEL tints done, I wanted them darker, however, the tint person (also the same as my PPF person), said he did it lighter than I asked because he said it would look better. I have had the car for about 3-4 weeks now (was on vacation for the last 1-2 weeks) - I want the tint to be darker. I'm concerned that since it's been 3-4 weeks, would I have to pay extra for getting the tints darker (paid ~$500 for them)? or is it a easy fix up for them to do?

Thank you in advance for the input.

PPF certainly wont hide the paint chips. Fix them perfectly before PPF. If you don’t it will bug you
