Orange Peel
- Thread starter Xsbank
- Start date
I had mine detailed beside a 2021 $95k Shelby. The detailer showed me that the Shelby had worse orange peel than the Explorer.
We did find two flaws in my paint. One on roof, just a spot, the other is obvious something in the paint at top edge of windshield. Must be Chicago manuf stuff as my SHO, also made there, had something in the paint at top of rear windshield and on hood.
They are mass produced and not built with the care of uber expensive makes.

One guy, a few years ahead of me, would ask for orange peel on his paint, so that he could compound and polish to his level of finish and shine. I do not want orange peel on my brand new robotic painted vehicle, and my 2021 ST has a great finish. It must have been painted by a human, while the robots were on the Friday afternoon break.
I've been over my paint with a ScanGrip light. I'm actually amazed at how little orange peel mine came with for a vehicle from the big 3.
@Xsbank I mean no offense with this post but having read most of your posts and the "flavor" of them, I think you'd be better off to dump your vehicle. Even if you take a hit, life is to short to drive a vehicle that you are unhappy with virtually everything about it. With the shortage of new available vehicles, I'll bet you could move it.

It won't show up in pictures no matter what angle I tried taking them. Definitely noticeable in person though. Also, afraid of how thin the paint is as well. I'm taking it to a detailer that has nothin but 100+ 5 star reviews down the road to get their opinion. I know they have tools that can measure the depth of the paint/finish.
