I've had PPF on the nose of several cars (MB, Porsche), but on my AGT I went for a total PPF in matte. I'm in Central Florida, so I can't comment on where to do it, but there are lots of places. For my guy, it was the first Lucid he did, but he does high end stuff all day and knocked it out. I also have a ceramic coat on the PPF. So far so good.
