The human eye is trained to look for imperections in paint jobs. As long as the orange peel is equal, no one will notice. It's mind blowing to me that the majority of new cars have a good bit of orange peel... ranging from Civic's to Corvette's. |
The orange peel effect irritates the shit out of me on new cars. It makes them all look like backyard krylon repaints.
