Vinyl versus paint.

Vinyl versus paint.
So I'm looking to buy a 3D carbon chin spoiler and cervini m1 hood scoop here soon.
I want the scoop in matte black. And the spoiler in either matte or carbon fiber.
The spoiler (200 bucks) comes UNPREPPED. So it must be prepped primed and painted..,a bit expensive for a matte black finish..
Would it be cheaper/feasible/smarter to just wrap them in vinyl as opposed to spending a few hundred to get them painted?
Keep in mind it's a chin spoiler so it's bound to hit a curb eventually..and bam. There goes the paint.
Edit, here's a chop Tanner did of the chin spoiler.

You could try spraying it with Plasti-Dip. I sprayed the trailer hitch frame on my Conversion Van back in Oct. and it is still holding up with no issues. Can't beat $5-8 bucks a can! And if you don't like it, you can peel it off with no damage.

What I would do if I were you is wrap the chin in black 3M vinyl. Then plastidip the chin spoiler. It will have more protection and every few months you can peel off the dip and re-apply to keep it nice. The other option for both is to try to paint them yourself in satin black (matte black). If they don't come out well, you can cover them in plastidip anyways.
