its not orange peel. its either not thin enough to shoot out and sputters or its over spray debris.

91lsteg: that texture you have on your car is the same texture i have on my brothers EG roof.

check this out. i started to sand and buff a portion of his roof out. and if it turned out nice, i'd do the whole thing.

here you can see how the texture is.


i wet sanded down with 1500g


2000g here


then i hand polished with no7 rubbing compound (green/white container)


comparison



clear reflection

dont apply to much pressure when sanding, it can take off the paint. take your time with it.
