What sort of blasting did they use on yours? I've just read this and now I'm more confused than I was 10 minutes ago!

Doesn't the roll bar get chipped by stones? I can't tell with mine because all the factory paint has peeled off - it came off in curved/cylindrical lengths, like a snake shedding its skin!
