Whilst looking at a mates car, I noticed that it has intermittant orange peel paint on one side of the car.

The car is painted in a metallic paint, but is it possible to remove the orange peel appearance without resorting to having the car resprayed?

 

Depends, You'll need a good polisher

 

usually, yes. Flat it down with 1500, and then buff it back up - careful as u dont know how thick the paint is is, and u dont want to go through.

 

wet flat it you can get 2000 grade now
then g3 it all over and buff with a final coat of resin polish - autoglym.
