Re: Orange peel trouble
If you're really going to look for someone to sand your factory peel reasonably flat and buff it out, make absolutely certain that they're using a good quality paint thickness gauge and that they really know how to use it. And be prepared to pay a hefty price for the privilege of having your clear coat removed. If someone says they'll do the job for $750, run, don't walk, away. This is a highly specialized process and, although anyone can sand the paint and buff it out, the real skill is in taking off only as much paint as needed to flatten the paint, and not a micron more. That skill comes at a price. And again, once that paint is sanded flat, you're pretty much done with it for the life of the car. You can no longer safely buff out a scratch. Annual swirl removal becomes more and more dangerous as the years go by. There is just so much more downside to this on factory paint than there is upside.Michael Stoops
