I'll be doing mine with matte black PlastiDip. That way I don't need to sand or add adhesion promoter and I probably won't need to tape over anything either, as PD is real easy to remove if it gets on the headlights, hood, etc.

PD is $5 a can at Home Depot (in the US) or $20 at Canadian Tire over here.

Oh, I just noticed you are in Saudi Arabia. Not sure if PlastiDip is sold over there.

Here's the Amazon link for it. It's $6.50 a can, but I'm not sure they ship it internationally: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000LNOOEO/ref=mp_s_a_1_7?qid=1388501912&sr=8-7&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70

As far as using it, it's really easy. Much easier than regular paint. Just clean the grille with some rubbin alcohol to remove grease and dust and then just spray PlastiDip directly. No need to prepare the surface with any other product. Pastidip sticks to anything and it's easy to apply a smooth coat without leaving any streaks. You don't need any practice.
I covered my bumpers and the gold trim all around the truck in black and it worked perfectly on the first try. I also did the rims.
The best part is that if you don't like it, you can just peel it off. It comes off like a vinyl film. It's not like regular paint that you have to sand off or dissolve off.
