Explains why every car robo-painted has orange peel.


Thats a ridiculous statement.
What does cause orange peel? I know that good body shops have to match the degree of peel when refinishing panels to the existing (factory) paint job.

FWIW, Porsches back in the '80s had a ton of orange peel from the factory. I always considered it the result of a good, thick paint job. Some customers would take the car to a high-end body shop upon new car delivery and get it wet-sanded down.
