This is especially important when applying a coating like he did.

Being that it is my daily, it ran it through all the salt/snow any my paint was pretty scratched up. Like mentioned above, paint correction is super important and is pretty much essential for any type of coating/sealant. Opti-Coat Pro is a 2 stage correction process. First is the obvious polish and scratch removal where the second is the primer stage for the coating. |

nice job with the paint correction and coating...
What I hate about my BRZ '17 is the crazy amount of orange peel |

My black my17 is totally covered with orange peel and no single brz/gt86 is free of it
Yes you are right about bad paint jobs, my left side wad repainted after 1 week cause someone crashed on me while parking but also the "stock" paint on all the other body parts have a visible orange peel I think i have photos of it, I ll post them later for you EDIT: well actually i don t really have photos anymore, i found these 2 of when I had my car crashed on the left posterior side You can see the amount of orange peel, my car is like that everywhere Last edited by tomm.brz; 04-18-2017 at 12:02 PM. |

I wouldn't call that orange peel. Every car on the road has that painted surface texture. It is completely normal and natural phenomenon of paint curing process.

Coming from someone who has a lot of experience with autobody/paint correction/detail work. Orange peel is exactly what he posted, and generally you wet sand and polish it out if you want to get rid of it. |
