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?

I prefer an orange peel finish, traditional with older German autos. As memory serves, it was a synthol enamel?

Seriously? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif) then Maco and Earl Schieb are there for you.

To each his own. Some (IMG:style_emoticons/default/screwy.gif) people prefer 914s to 911s (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
