2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee Orange Peel
Alright..I just bought a 2012 Grand Cherokee Overland Summit...but I am disappointed!
This think looks like it was painted with an orange peel let alone it has a bug sprayed into the clear coat in door!!! It does not have a flat, mirror surface...The vehicle is shiny but when looking at the paint from any angle it looks an orange peel surface...
Has anyone detailed one of these lately? IS this typical of Chrysler product/paint?
Not looking to badger Jeep...the features of the vehicle are awesome...but I cant get past the paint!!
UGH...the Frustration!!
I know pictures...but it rainy this morning...wife will give me a few choice words if I take her camera

I am on the South end of a horse, looking North!!

Hi Don,
I have the exact same vehicle! However, what is interesting is that I was actually impressed with the overall paint job and lack of orange peel in my Jeep. I wonder if it could be different due to paint color. Mine is the Grey Metallic. What color is your Jeep?
Awesome vehicle though huh? I have had mine for 3 weeks and love it!

post the pic of the bug in the door ?
That would have never left the factory like that. Cars get damaged on the transport trucks all the time, then get resprayed before being sold.
Reason I posted in this thread is because I drove home over the throg's neck bridge in NYC and watched an Infiniti that was loaded on the truck in the last position (where the ramp folds down in the upper row) bouncing up and down off of its rocker panel sustaining damage for the entire 20 minutes of stop and go traffic (the car was parked with too much of its rear tire hanging over the fold-down ramp. In the upper row the ramp only fold down at about 45 degree's)

What is funny is mine is the Mineral Grey...I think I got one painted on a Friday afternoon or Monday morning....
This vehicle is powerful and pulls a trailer without a blink...but I have a hard time looking at it without shaking my fist!!

I am going to wash the door and take a picture...interesting about the transport as I bought this one the same day it arrived...it had the wrappings on it.
I will give Jeep kudos as they are sending over the regional manager to take a look along with a paint expert...

My silver 07 Wrangler is a complete orange grove. It's the worst paint job I have ever seen on a new vehicle. Maddening to say the least. I have learned to live with it but it has taken years of therapy.

You are not insane Don! Well, maybe a tad...most of us pilots are a bit nuts. The month my Wrangler was out of warranty the main computer fried itself. 2 grand later it works fine. Squirrels have chewed my door handles and running boards, the rear washer hose always pops off when you activate the squirter and the fluid hits you in the back of the head. Otherwise it's been a great truck!
