Hey, Scott!
Haven't heard from you for a while. I'm heading down your direction tomorrow for the Spruce Goose Tour. Are you going? |

I have a Pozzi Blue 360, and just had the bumper resprayed. The respray definitely seems tougher than the factory job, but bugs still dent it. I decided to go the respray every two years route. BTW, I convinced Willis is wrong, I can't imagine that my blue isn't softer than his black. Microfiber scratches my paint as well. But, what the hell, I bought the car to drive, not to show. |

I got Stonegard on the bumper of my black 360. Sure, it's not the most attractive accessory on the car up close, but it beats having the nose sandblasted by road debris around here. Clean up is a cinch too (wet it down, wipe off bugs, then polish). No more time-consuming paint touch ups. I drive the car and don't care if it's not in "concours" specs.
I had the bumper repainted before the Stonegard treatment. I agree that the paint quality is much better and more durable than the original factory paint. Black (Nero) seems to be the softest paint they use. I had to revert to 100% cotton cloths because microfiber towels would leave faint etches on the surface. The microfiber towels work just fine on the other cars. |

I saw the 3M tape on a black 360 front bumper last Sunday and I'm glad I did not put it on my car. The edges are white and you can clearly see the outline from a distance. I had my bumper repainted at Premier in LA and it's IMO the better alternative. The quality of the repaint is far superior to OEM. |
