Too much blur isn't always a good thing (Like the second picture)
It's a Canon EF 40mm f/2.8 STM. I was just seeing how drastic an effect I could get. In the second shot, the camera was inches from the car with the aperture wide open.

That's untouched from the factory. Most spots have nothing like the peel on the fender garnish, but even so this angle and lighting is only going to make it seem more extreme than it is. Hard to avoid peel in mass production using spray guns, mechanized or human.

In spots, definitely. Nothing avoids orange peel like dipping, but that uses a ludicrous amount of paint (though it provides excellent rustproofing).
