Wrap diamonds on grill

I think I saw this posted by someone but can't seem to find the thread. I would like to wrap the diamonds on my grill in gloss black. Can someone post details on what vinyl wrap to use and instructions on how to wrap the diamonds effectively? If there is already a thread about this, please point me to it and I will delete this thread. I am also interested in wrapping the horizontal bars for the floating star look.

Invested almost a full dollar and about 3 hours.

Had the time because I was waiting on Harvey to pass over.

Here is the precision template that was engineered on site.
Wrap the clean diamonds one at a time.

Oh yeah it was you. I remember your comment about harvey. Couldn't find the thread for the life of me. Great job! Looks awesome. Any particular kind/brand of vinyl you used?

Thanks! Sometimes it can be tricky finding an old post.

i bought a 5'x1' roll of gloss black 3m vinyl for $12 on eBay, shipped. Only used about 6" x 6".
