I putzed around with the hood strips this weekend. I polished them a couple years ago and decided to paint the red center strip. I took 150 sandpaper and folded a crease and ran it down the center line. I then masked both sides and painted with Krylon cherry red. I dusted about 4 coats and removed the tape . Area surrounding red was cleaned with a razor blade and then polished with 0000 steel wool. Coverage wasn't great so I retaped and did again. This time it looks OK. Do you think the paint will peel? It seems to have adhered. Time will tell? Pics below.

You shouldn't have any problems. I painted mine with a brush and some model paint. I've had them on the truck for 4 years now with no problems.
