Re: Is orange peel covered by our warranty

Orange peel is in fact not a normal condition. Nor is it a result of EPA regs. Orange peel comes when paint is sprayed at high air pressure to get a lot of product on a lot of cars in a hurry. There were some tough times with paint due to EPA regs. In the late 80's water based primer caused paint to peel off everything from Chevys to Volvos. That has been fixed. If you want to see good paint go look at the door jambs of a Mercedes or BMW. No wet sanding or buffing there. Just good paint.
