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.
