Looking at my Chrysler today I got to wondering. I took this picture.. I have noticed this effect on just about every car I own.

Yes it's orange peel. Has this been repainted or is it stock?

This is normal for stock cars

So either, live with it, or have it repainted with additional layers of CC to get that smooth mirror finish

Theres other steps you can take too, but that is a whole different process

Factory orange peel can be removed, but two things are required: A Paint Thickness Gauge, and balls of steel...

In this situation I think the Balls of steel would be more important lol! Good one Eric! :props:

In all honesty though the risk is just not worth the reward when it comes to factory baked on clear coats and the orange peel.

Don't feel bad, my brand new 2013 F150 has bad orange peel. The hood and roof being the worse, the sides not as noticeable but much beyond I like. Before I bought it I noticed it, so I checked the other trucks on the lot, they all had it, some even worse!

Here's my hood.....

Three words that says it all.

Well said Eric (plus humorous)...

I think I'll pass! I'll just leave it as is.

didn't carpro make the velvet pad for factory paint orange peel removal? obviously you would still need a paint thickness gauge. but couldn't it be corrected with that pad?

you can sand that out or polish it with a Demim pad.
Either way it's fixable.
You just have to know what your doing.
