    Welcome, I see this is your first post. There are several ways you can go about doing this,. some folks simply paint it, others chose to use a vinyl wrap. If you seach matte black grill you should see several post on this topic.

    i did mine today, i taped it off and everything carefully and still messed it up. if you look up close you can see the tape peeled up the plasti dip. but from far away it looks fine. and also if you work on your engine a lot seems like from all the rubbing it would come off pretty easy. but it hasnt been on more then 12 hours
