No, not if you prep the panels properly. The key to having proper adhesion with vinyl dye is to get the panels really, really clean.

You should start with soapy water and scrub them with a brush. Rinse and repeat. If you aren't stripping old dye off, like I did lightly sand any areas that are scratched. Follow that with a scotch brite pad on the entire panel. Wash with soapy water, rinse and repeat.

Once the panel is completely dry, use a good coat of adhesion promoter. This step is "very" important. Follow the directions on the can closely. After the adhesion promoter, dye them and your done. Yes it will scratch if your not careful, but it won't fall off in chunks....
