I doubt these are "wraps".

Does this ever look anything other than crap?

Seems like it might make more sense to live with it rather than go through the expense of getting an equivalent finish or having it look worse.

You shouldn't be paying that much attention to the color while riding it.

At least, the "blacked out look" is fairly popular and fairly timeless. So, it's not like it would bother other people.
