Orange peel?
 

now my car is brand freakin new, and it has orange peel! piss me off, is there any way to dim it's noticability or am i stuck with it untill the lease is up? :2:

Sand and polish it. But.... If you had to ask the question I don't recommend you try it on your own!

Take it back to the dealer and let them detail/handle it........Shouldn't be your problem to correct.....

I thought only the big three sent out inferior products :2: Guess not :3:

It's a fluke, Honda NEVER has any problems. It must have found its way onto the Ford production line. :poke:

:laughhard :laughhard :laughhard

THat must be it! god damnit! i must admit this has blue pearl in it so its nicer but the end paint finish on the stang was much better, but the stang wasnt pearl like the civic.

My V6 had pearl and the paint was perfect, until my retarded neighbour hit the car.

ouch...but i dont think if i take it back to the dealership tehy will do anything. what could they do?

id take it to them any how and ask them, if that is how the paint is supossed to come on a brand new car :2:

I would bring it to there attention so they dont try and screw u when the lease is up, they might think u had it painted and will give you less money

ah very good point! and whitesnake the first service is coming up and i shall bring it up and see what happens. on the other hand i got some goodies that the civic will be getting soon too :5:

let me guess, i big ass fart can, and a whale tail, ooo dont forget those stickers that add all the HP :nono: :LOL:
LOL J/K buddy :4:

no you big bowl of mangina! more along the line of full synthetic oil (mobil 1) eibach prokit and anti roll kit, kn air and oil filter, and summer performance tires. im hoping i can get all this soon. :thumb1: and no fart can, no power gains and a waste of money, im just goona make her brake and handle! and the exterior is staying stock, just like i kept the stang.

or instead of the suspension wheels and tires, tough choice.

well that is good to hear man!
im proud of you (tear rolls down my cheek) :cry:

We have a friend that over the last 3 years has bought two cars from Lexus. They both have orange peel straight from the factory. We told them to ask the dealer about it and they claim it's normal.

Most of the new cars I've seen these days have orange peel. Perhaps it's become acceptable?

These are top of the line SUV's and car's from Lexus I'm referring to.

lx 470, ya its because the painting is done more so by robots now and in a hurry, so there isnt time to wetsand and such im assuming.

Aren't you trying to save money...? :teeth:

yup and i have saved a bunch, this is just extra stuff from the halifax trip. :5:

""you may be wondering why i switched from a stang to a civic, its simple.....MONEY SAVINGS!"

there goes your reasoning to dump the stang out the window.. i bet you just wanted to hang with the honda kids

:laughhard :laughhard :laughhard

once again, i have saved alotta money by getting rid of the stang, mainly is insurance,gas and monthly, all the above saved huge, that stuff shall be purchased by some extra money i made from my excursion to halifax. and the honda boys suck, just becaue i sold my stang doesnt mean i hate em, i still love em, i just cant afford it right now and i am not willing to pinch every molecule of penny to drive one. but thats just how i feel.

its ok "honday boy" we understand that you have a small wiener and no longer need the big mucsle car to make chicks think you are "special" :run:







just kidding man. i have a small one too.. :thumb1:

"its not the size mate its how you use it" :poke:

use it? what do you use it for :2: :2:

VIRGIN!!!!! :cop:

When it comes to your orange peel on your car best way to get rid of that is a light wetsand and 3 stage polish. I work in a body shop that's how we usually fix that problem. Don't try this unless you know what you are doing, and if you take it back to your dealership make sure that if they take it to the detailor that he knows what he is doing because dealerships usually give those problems to their detailors because it's cheaper to polish it the bodyshop time.

LMFAO :hump: <---THIS


Bubba: We all are going through the gas and insurance thing, but why didn't you go for a older mustang like a fox or a jelly bean like mine instead of a honda, im not making fun of anyone just wondering why you didnt go older?

because, gas payments and the fact that it was a lemon, not to say that all are but alot of mustangs have been touched.....and i want a complete virgin stock stang. im gonna wait for a while until i get another one, when i can afford the fixings and such.

First off, it's a lease and they will not fix it.(paint) You talk about saving money, yet you lease.(pissing money down the drain) Turd....oh sorry, third, why ITF, would you upgrade a lease? (more piss down the drain) The only benefit to leasing is if you can write it off. (having a business) Ya, I know, payments are smaller, but it's like renting a house. No equity, ever.....NADA! If your a messy ,careless driver you will pay for that in the end. :wave:

Define LEMON???? what happened?

Even if your not expecting the dealer to do anything about the quality of the paint, you should atleast show them so they can note it. The last thing you want, is in 3 years or whatever and your lease is up for them to try and tell you that you had a the car repainted. They might thing that the orange peel is the result of a touch up or body repair.

improperly modified, excessively lowered and not built right.
