Paint finishing
Ok I recently got my car repainted and it has some serious orange peal. How can I get rid of this and get a glass like paint. the paint job was awsome and I got a great deal Its just got that orange peal look when you get real close to it.

Wet sanding is very time consuming but is absolutely the way to go.I did a patch on mine before I stripped it.Even though I thought the paint was pretty flat already,the difference was like night and day.By the way,have you noticed some of the paintwork on new factory cars these days,appalling.

i would wet sand the paint with 1500 then 2000. buff it with a good variable speed buffer and use 3m's line of compounds and machine glazes.
