Vinyl Wrap or Other Suggestions

Hey Everyone!
Just had my boat professionally buffed and waxed. It's black/white and frankly the 3" section of black just above the rub rail on my 246 just doesn't clean up well and oxidizes quickly.
The guy who did it suggested considering having that 3" wide section all the way around the boat wrapped in gloss black. Clearly the wrap could get damaged but it also can be replaced/repaired.
Question is do they make wrap in narrow long rolls like that? Something 3-4" wide (I could easily trim at the rub rail) but long enough to go all the way around...maybe 75ft with some left over?
Suggestions other than having that area painted?
Pic attached isn't my boat but shows the area I'm speaking off. Really sucks because the rest of the boat shines like glass.

$400 bucks..
I found 4" 3M gloss black vinyl striping in 150yrd roles. I may just give that a shot. I've done a ton of pin striping in my day so I'm pretty confident I could make it work. Just not sure how it would look.
I have zero experience with what your describing unfortunately. Any more insight you can share or videos to point at? Is this stuff I can do myself?
The issue here with my boat is that the only problem area is that 3" of black above the rub rail. That area has a double curve shape if you will that others have said not to use a DA polisher on and frankly even if you did you would have to use just the edge to get in the curves if you will. I tried compounds and such by hand but could not touch the oxidation.
males me wonder if their Poly-Ox and the brushing will address this issue I have on its own before I apply the Poly Glow.
