If the job is done properly you should not have any problems like that. As with all painting the end result is only as good as the prep work done. If it is done professionally using proper plastic primer etc the results should last.

if you get it done, use a bodyshop with a good reputation.

And if you ever use those jet washers or steam cleaners, don't get the pressure nozzles too close to your new molded paint job otherwise you may just find it flakes off with the pressure (like it did to my Manta Belinetta some years ago). :sad:
