I debated ordering a set of the reproductions and would have a local pinstriper paint the black on. He quoted me $300 to do a set of five (have a spare).

Vinyl will work, if it's calendered vinyl you can expect about 10 or so years or usage depending on the elements it's exposed to, 5-7 years if you use Oracle 651 vinyl. Other option you could do is pickup some thin automotive pin striping tape and mask off the area you want to paint, get you a syringe fill it with paint and apply in small amounts.
