Some people get paint correction before ppf and coating on a new car, while some just go with ppf directly. I know ppf hides most if not all paint imperfections, so are the people who get paint corrections doing it for more peace of mind or to maintain paint for later?
Knocks down the orange peel. The OCD comment is probably right, but for me anyway, it makes a difference. I've done with and without, and done right it makes a huge difference - decontaminate, paint correct, PPF, ceramic coat. Makes clean up a breeze.
I just got mine back the other day. Had it paint corrected, then full xpel ultimate film applied, and then a ceramic coating. Came out pretty nice and now i don't have to worry about rock chips and it's super easy to detail and wash.
My paint was in really bad condition when delivered, with scratches amd whatnot that PPF would not have hidden.
In any case paint correction doesn't add that much to the cost, the PPF is by far the most expensive part of it, so it makes sense to do it and have a perfect car all over. I also don't do PPF on the whole car, so paint correction also fixes the paint for the half of the car that isn't covered. For me it's totally worth the minimal cost to have a perfect looking car.
When I brought in my 2011 911 Turbo to be paint corrected, PPF’ed, and ceramic coated, two brand new Aston Martins were brought in on separate flat bed trucks to be color corrected. So, yes, even new cars can benefit from a color correction.
Depends on the film, I work primarily with SunTek and their adhesive will fill in any minor surface swirls. I still suggest paint correction if you’re going through the process to ensure everything is flawless.

speaking for myself, and most our clients, ppf is meant to preserve the paint and protects it from further damage; so, peace of mind while driving.
Thought process is, since ppf installation is a semi-permanent enhancement in a car's life, why not preserve something flawless, rather than preserve something with scratches, swirls, factory sanding marks, etc.
if not doing a full ppf, the areas without film will also benefit as they will look as flawless as the ppf areas from the start, then you simply do a proper home care and maintain that finish as close to the appearance ppf as possible.
paint correction should, theoretically, only be done a few times in the ownership experience assuming the car is washed and maintained properly. And now days, with all the great technology, it’s easier to maintain your car than ever before
