Front grille vinyl wrap

Anyone did it? Any issues?
I want to black it out but the guys from vinyl shop told me thats not a good idea, and suggested to paint it. They told me that car washes will not make last it long
But I think after I pain it gloss black I will see stone chips in a few weeks or so
So wrap or paint?

Mine looks like this



and I want to make like this

I used Auto-dip to blackout mine. It's a liquid vinyl instead of rubber like Plasti-dip.

I also did the chrome inserts and mate black plastic covers with the same Can. I just like the black gloss look more than stock.

My hood is Black Carbon fiber wrap with gloss and the roof is Gloss Black Wrap.
I power wash my MB more than 20 times and no signs of coming off.
