I have already installed XPEL throughout my entire car. I am considering a full Opticoat application. How much should I expect to pay?

$3600. Worth every penny.

The price to prep and apply the Opti-Coat to your Tesla is $495. This includes a full exterior detail and a light polishing of the paint. Opti-Lens is also applied to the headlights and tail lights.
Do it yourself for $68 and have plenty left over for another car or two...I did mine and my wife's Q5, no issues at all...obviously, most of the time is taken up in the prep, but if you have the time, this is not a difficult project.

That is for Opti-coat 2.0, which is available to the general public. Many detailers use Opti-coat Pro, which is thicker, flashes faster and has a shorter cure time. To your point, OC 2.0 is not that challenging to apply and gives great results.
so for stripping and reapplying? use IPA or what? (sure I can search and find out...)
I just got a syringe of opticoat in the mail yesterday. will need to spend some serious car cleaning hours soon

This is true. I did quite a bit of research at the time (and this was around the same time Artsci was doing his paint treatment study), but I guess my conclusion is there's still not miracle solution, and there wasn't a huge difference between the Pro and 2.0. I'm about 14 months in on my treatment (did it about 3 days after I got the car), and am considering stripping it back and re-applying...the water still beads, but nowhere near as good these days. I used to own a car cleaning company back in the day, so tried all the miracle solutions back then, and none were as good as a good polish each month, and a slight cut and polish every year, but, that was ~20yrs ago, back when paint was a bit tougher
