Looking for someone who can fix my orange peel?

[RedPhoenix]

When I bought the car I never really noticed, but after owning it for a year, there is some massive orange peel after it was repainted.

I was wondering if someone can wetsand and/or reclear my car? PM please, thanks.

Most pepole wont touch it because if they sand thru clear you' re f%&^d and would need to be repainted. No one knows how thin or thick the clear is.

Old school term for wet sanding Single stage or even Lacquer paint. Doesnt really apply to clear coat but same thing technically.

In two stage painting the base coat is applied than a clear coat or 2. The clear coat can be color sanded and than the final rub-out.

ok i'm a painter for a body shop and i can tell you how to do it

what you need is a da or random orbit sander and some 3000 grit trizac pads and all you have to do is spray water on the bottom of the pad and wet the car with a spray bottle as you go down the car and once the car is dull wash it with clean water and then buff the car i know it sounds easy but its alot of work but if you need some one to do it i can help you with it

3000 grit is'nt gonna do much for orange peel.

I agree. I would go with a 1200-1500 hookit pad first than go back over it with the trizact 3000. It will cut your time in half. Then I would buff with the 3m extra cut compound, swirl mark remover, than that new blue shit they offer.

it will but it will take some time and if your not sure if its one coat or two or how thick or thin it was sprayed then it's better be safe than sorry
