What is “Orange Peel” and why does my paint look rough?
Orange peel is the rough look you sometimes see after your clearcoat dries. It looks like the skin of an orange; hence the name. It’s fairly easy to rectify. Just let the paint dry for 5-7 days and then wetsand the area with 1500, following the directions with the 3M Combo kit. Then buff with the polishing compound. You may need to repeat the process a couple times, but you will smooth the surface and achieve a nice gloss.
