Thanks...

From my knowlege..Orange Peel is when the paint of your car wrinkles under the sun or light reflection = not smooth as it should be. And it looks like an oranges peel/skin, wrinklish. :(

Most likely nothing unless it's EXTREMELY bad or the owner complains to no end. It's been posted on several occasions that just about every mass produced car has it these days due to the water based environmental paints.

If you have any work done on it you may get the orange peel fixed but now the longevity of teh original factory paint job is compromised. I'd rather have some "peel".

Most cars I see these days have at least some orange peel. When they're cranking these babies out they probably don't give them enough time to dry inbetween coats of paint. My last 3 cars have had orange peel to some extent.

It doesn't bother me though. Nobody has ever said, "Nice car, except for the paint job." :rolleyes:
