Same with all the ones I have done. It’s all about the prep. If they are cleaned and prepped well, the dye will last. Now if something should scratch them, it will come off. But they can be touched up should that ever happen.
In the 10 years that I had my truck, with all the interior parts dyed, the only part I ever had to touch up was the kickpanel. And that was only once. My foot/shoe would constantly rub the kickpanel. When I drive, my left foot is constantly moving. Like fidgety. So once in 10 years I thought was pretty darn good.

Thumbs up Door Panel Dying

Looks like you did a very good job there .

Thanx to all who chimed in when I was doing used cars I too had the clean, clean some more and then clean again before I'd get a good result, mostly I was doing color changes on junk yard panels and seats that were in good shape if not matching color .
