Rick,
If I understand it correctly, Isuzu included the hood insert to cut down on glare. The intent was for it to be a matte or satin finish so that it eliminates reflections/sun-glint.
I had mine LineX'd about 2 years ago and I really like the result. The finish has a shine to it but the texture yields the same results on cutting down on glare.
Here's a pic of it right after it was done (still looks the same tho 2 years later).

If you decide to paint the insert...
Make sure you wipe it down thoroughly with lacquer thinner. AmourAll is one of the biggest enemies against new paint... it contains silicone, which will cause "fish eyes". (looks as if the paint is scared, and won't adhere to that particular spot)
Due to the sun/fading, I suggest painting with a basecoat/clearcoat combination. Clear contains UV protection, so it won't fade in a year or less.
To get that satin look, you can add a flattening agent into the clearcoat. A little of that, more or less, will give you different levels of sheen...

Or just $and the pi$$ out of it...Then wipe it down.

still, it's a good idea to try to get any/all AmourAll or wax off before sanding.
It is possible to actually push/work the contaniments into the panel being worked on.... just tryin' to promote safety
