Need an opinion on some paint work

Finally found a good shop in the area - reasonably priced and mostly high- end clientele (high end cars i should say)

I've been wanting to paint my grill and Ive decided Im going matte black, or a flat black. My original thought was that I wanted to leave just the star and ring around it in chrome and paint everything else.

But do I have the fog light rings painted as well? Has anyone here painted the fog lights?

I would wrap the horizontal chrome grill pieces, paint will always chip.
For the star I would paint it with plasti-dip (matte black) since it will resist chips more and its cheap as hell to redo. You can paint foglights too.

Thought about wrap, but there's no chance I do it myself. Can't find anyone in the area that does it so I'll just paint it. I hbad the grill on my rover painted and never got a chip, so hopefully it works out. Since I'm buying a spare grill I guess I can experiment with plasti dip on that one.
