Im glad I am right and wrong.....I have only painted a few cars

haha wow, you know nothing about painting do you?

orange peel is when you are spraying clear on thick and the gun is to close to the surface you are painting.. thus the air coming out of the spray gun makes slight ripples in the clear.


wet sanding and buffing will take everything out, just dont start wet sanding under 1000.. preferably 1500 then work your way up to 2000
