Paint is one of the most misunderstood automotive topics out there, and not just to the average consumer – we’ve run into professionals who had a hard time explaining it. Maybe it’s because the science behind it all isn’t clear-cut. The majority of articles, interviews, and forum posts you find online explaining orange peel on a new car is, unsurprisingly, opinionated and false. Maybe instead you assumed that orange peel is most obvious on high-end cars because the paint is “applied by hand”. You assumed all along that factory paint shops are negligent and that orange peel is a result of their “improper” or “rushed” application process. And guess what? It’s not going away anytime soon. In fact, there are industry standards for orange peel on a scale of 1 to 10, used by every manufacturer. That orange peel on your new car? It’s left there on purpose.
