That first picture belongs on the Zaino website....that is an amazing job...how long did the process take, im going to order my zaino stuff this week...
plus the orange peel is a normal effect in the paint, when i first bought my car i asked the dealer about it and he said it was normal...

I had my old car painted and had orange peel. I did this procedure to the whole car and it came out looking like glass. My friend who owns a bodyshop told me that's how they do it.
