Re: Orange peel trouble

One option is to take it to a pro for some wetsanding and have the car opti-coated.

The rust I've seen then was just a reflection then. But with those reflections it's very difficult to see the defect,

I haven't noticed any rust but I could be mistaken I used an app to lighten up the pictures some because of the lighting conditions I can post the one's untouched at let y'all see what y'all think

Like Michael said, orange peel is the norm for OEM paints. But I must say, your OP is heavier than most.

Is it like that on the whole car, or only certain panels? Are you sure the car (or parts thereof) weren't re-painted by the dealer for some reason?

If it's a repaint, then you can probably correct, or at least improve it, since repaints are generally much thicker than OEM paint. If it's definitely OEM paint, then I wouldn't risk trying to correct it, as it will be very thin.

Unfortunately, I don't like your chances of getting the dealer or manufacturer to pay for it either

The last 2 pictures almost look photoshopped, but the 1st indeed is very noticeable. If that's how the entire car is that is horrendous! I did notice a piece of rust in that 1st pic or am I mistaken? And for a brand new car u might want to go straight to the manufacture if another dealer won't honor ur warranty.

You can either use photobucket to host them or use the gallery here to host them. I crop and resize my photos using Microsfot office picture manager and then upload on here to use the Meguiar's gallery. These links should help you out.

Re: Orange peel trouble

You could always use a more durable form of protection such as opti-coat, cquatz or another one of the popular coatings if you go the wetsnad approach.

Could you post a photo so we could see what you are having issues with?
