Were new 911s ever sold with an orange peel finish?

My new 2022 F150 has a fair amount of orange peel. I did not know it was a thing with base coat/clear coat?

QUOTE(930cabman @ Jan 3 2023, 02:30 PM)  My new 2022 F150 has a fair amount of orange peel. I did not know it was a thing with base coat/clear coat? 2 stage let’s you get away with more than single stage. The gloss of the clear moves your eyes away from the orange peal. I know Mercedes has different paint finishes depending on the model level of the car. I imagine Porsche does as well. I wouldn’t be surprised if their high end and special edition cars get better paint treatments than the cayenne, Boxster, etc. |
