I dont see the point in pointing out orange peel on cars. its part of the car and yes it can be taken care of easily. i personally hate it and i take care of it since i hate seeing it. But i dont see pointing out what nearly every car out there has IMO...:xyxthumbs:

Let's see...start here:

Chinese Auto Manufacturers List - Information on Car, Truck, Bus, Motorcycle Makers in China (chery automobile, geely, gwm etc.) (http://www.chinacarforums.com/chinese_car_manufacturers.html)

Then go here:

Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/####/List_of_car_brands)

But, don't stop now:

20 Famous Car Manufacturers - Famouswhy (http://www.famouswhy.com/List/20_Famous_Car_Manufacturers/39.html)

I could not list every manufacturer in this whole wide world---space and broadband width won't allow it, but I believe this is a decent start. :D

Well, yes and no. Depending on the paint, it isn't always safe to remove orange peel on factory finishes.

In this day and age products like Opti-Coat do help from a protection standpoint but often after you remove orange peel the clear coat is left dangerously thin.

Nissan has some of the worst I have seen lately.

Fords robots need rebooting

you are correct Charlie. it isn't a safe thing to do on factory clear coat finish. i was thinking as its easy to take care of by respraying clear, witch is what i do with my cars. but thats just me thinking in a painting manner. :p

Toyota and Nissan both were pretty bad in the early part of the 2000's

Indeed. But then as a painter, you also probably are used to adding 1-2 extra coats of clear than are purely "necessary" so there's material to play with. :xyxthumbs:

Some Mercedes have been pretty awful in the past and I think they had a class action lawsuit against them on the SLK because of the orange peel.
