Painted Plastics?

I was interested in the Outlander MAX Limited or Max XT-P but both "boast" having painted plastics. Does anyone know how paint holds up on flexible/bendable plastic? I would picture it cracking and peeling off very easily if the plastics been to much. Also scratching, if I took it through mud or kicked up rocks and other debris, wouldn’t it chip easily? Does anyone know from experience or had friends with any mikes with paint on these flexible parts ad how it holds up?
