Any suggestions on how to get rid of the OEM Orange peel? It's really only on my doors, but it's annoying to see after about 4 hours of laboring.
Orange peel???
My car was covered in it down both sides. I did a two step compound on my car at 1100 miles in attempts to reduce it, then had a ceramic coating sprayed on heavily to level the clear coat. It reduced it by about 1/2 i'd say. Still visible though.
A PPF film would probably be a good way also, albeit expensive. Where I have clear bra looks much better then areas I do not in terms of smoothness and clarity.
Unfortunately soThanks. I was afraid that I'll have to live with it for the most part
You could purchase 3m's trizac system with 3000 & 5000 grit sand paper. If you use a orbital sander or even use a polisher with a soft interface pad to do the sanding, the polishing step will be much less labour intensive as there won't be straight line scratches to remove.
But in all honesty, I would not recommend spending the time to wet sand and polish factory paint due to the need for clear coat thickness to prevent UV damage.
Well said, I would not worry much., because everytime you are touching the paint with a sander/buffer/polisher, you are removing .00001 micron of your protective clear coat.
^abt12 gets it. Cut it if you must, but it is protection you're removing. Alternatively, if you're correcting then ppf that's another story.
