The WETTEST look possible?

what do you guys mean by orange peel?

 

[MattZ28]

Orange peel is when the paint isn't completely smooth like a mirror....looks like the peel of an orange, or a golf ball. Here's an example.



Look at the side of the garage, see how it's not perfectly smooth?

I think the paint on my Pontiac GTO is kinda like that. Is this just cheap paint? Is there a way to smooth this effect out?

Most all Production cars will have Orange Peel..

And With LATE paints being Sprayed on so thin...There is NOT enough product to color sand without going through the clear coat..

 

[MattZ28]

^What he said. Pretty much any car under $150,000 is going to have orange peel

Orange peel is not in the sheet metal. it's in the clear coat.

i think he was talking about the body panels of his car.



and orange peel starts at the base primer coat, it is just most evident in the clear coat where you get your shine.

THERE'S ONLY ONE MORE PRODUCT THAT WILL MAKE THAT WETTER, WATER.
