Actually to be honest my last post was a ribbing on 2 friends i worked with in the paintshop who are on this board.

The orangepeel effect ou see is on all GM vehicles.
It's on all Ford,dodge,toyota, nissan etc etc

It has nothing to do with GM as Gm does not make the paint. Our trucks get sprayed with PPG paint and our cars with Dupont. We have one to a powder primer and waterbased paint, which may have something to do with it. Short of colorsanding every vehicle you will always have that effect. So until Dupont and PPG figure out a way to eliminate it, we will always see it.
