Orange peel question.

<< < (6/6)

Here's a photo I took at the NPD musuem.

ruger:
Thanks,  the last picture shows me what I needed to know.  My paint is not that drastic but is showing peel at least. Thanks

ramblewood390GT:
Walking through the museum, and seeing them side by side,  it was obvious which cars had clear coat and which ones had original (or original style) paint. The custom "hot rod" look is cool, but for my own taste I really like the way the single stage paint reacts to light. You see the car and its outline, not the reflections of a polished surface.

CharlesTurner:
Keep in mind that the hood and fenders were painted off the car at the assembly plant and were hanging on hooks.  Orange peel appearance could vary panel to panel depending on how it was painted.
