orange peel?

i noticed orange peel on my spoiler,it is my understanding that this comes from the manufactor the machines that are designed to paint the car,sometimes end up doing this...im wondering if this would be coverd under warranty,so i can get a new spoiler,and also 2 leds are out on the spoiler..

orange peel is common, blame the robot who paint the cars.

My g35 paint look good, should look at my 2002 rsx and my friend Mazda3...the orange peel is so bad it's unbelivable.

Cannot really buff it out beause it's under the clear, you buff and repaint to get it better.

That is more a quality control issue that must be addressed by the consumer prior to purchase. It is all too common these days in even the high end vehicle lines.

I don't think I've ever seen orange peel on a G35... first for eveything. What color is your exterior?

Then your not looking hard enough! I noticed it in black back in 2002 when looking at the showroom car.

Sometimes you get lucky and its not as bad, but we all have it.

Zanio really help reduce the look of orange peel, but its still there!

Yup, I have it too. Mostly on the sides, left is worse then right which in turn
is worse then the top. And I thought I was the only one....

Orange

I thought only Ivory Pearl has the orange peel due to base and pearl coats. Other than the hood and the roof, I think orange peel is all over, especially visible on the rear bumper.
