Blacking out front grill

Hi Guys - I'm keen to black out my front grill like this...

What is the best option?

I want to wrap it so I can bring it back to normal if needed. But I'm not sure if it can be wrapped.

Has anyone done this? - You're input/advise would be much appreciated

It can be wrapped. But probably easier to dip.

And looks like they smoke tinted the star area.

Thanks Vaelin, do you know if it can go back to normal after dipping?

Yes but a wrap is way easier to remove and looks a hell of a lot better. My guess is a dip will end up looking janky like wheels do.

That was exactly my worry, last thing I want is for it to start chipping off after a long drive and wash.

Wrapping it is!

Dip is probably more resilient to chipping than a wrap, but I still hate dip.
