To users of S100 and Zaino -

Do these products reduce the appearance of orangepeel?

I know that wetsanding will knock down the orangepeel, but what a load of work!

Anybody have any close up before/after pics of orangepeel areas afected by Zaino or S100 or anything else that has worked?

Thanks,
Herb

 

Wax can't help with orange peel. It's just not possible. Even a heavy layer of wax is about 1,000 times thinner than you would need to raise the valleys up to the level of the peaks.

Wet sanding works because you are actually removing the peaks.

 

Thanks for the reply Tim.

Has anyone out there bothered to colorsand the factory clear for a better look?

I colorsanded a Jeep I used to own due to an overspary incident with a friends chassis black paint. It came out great and I got a good pump on the arms for it, but the hard bed cover, those huge doors, rear fenders and hood have me somewhat unmotivated to break out the 2000 grit.

Maybe some photos of before and afters on a dark L (mine's True Blue) may send my gotta-do-it meter to the redline.

ps Tim - thanks for the website - its given my a great deal of info and inspiration AKA I copied your gauge ideas.

 

That's what it's there for! Without all the great ideas I stole here, I would not have been able to do much with my truck.

What exactly did we do before the 'Net?
