You know how when the paint surface feels gridy, you need to clay it right?? True but what if it's orange peel?? You keep wasting your time claying it and found out that those aren't containments. How can you tell?? I'm not a pro so I really can't tell. Does orange peel feels as smooth as glass as well as non orange peel paint??
 
Put your hand in a plastic bag and run it gently over your paint, you will feel grittiness. You wont specifically "feel" orange peel, its more a visual thing in the paint and not the clearcoat.

So orange peel is a visual thing and containments is something that you feel to know that it's there??
 
well you can feel it... it will feel like the surface of an orange, it wont feel 100% smooth as glass (orange peel that is)



however think of things clay takes out as tiny little pieces of sand... thats how it will feel. micro particles.
 
Unless a finish is so horrible (that it wouldn't be allowed to leave the factory floor anyway) there's no way you would mistake orange peel for the type of contamination clay takes off.



This isn't the best picture I've seen of this, but I can't find the other: click
