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

FWIW, neither one of my relatively new Toyotas has orange peel.

QUOTE(windforfun @ Jan 6 2023, 10:38 AM)  FWIW, neither one of my relatively new Toyotas has orange peel. looks like all your cars are special!!!! you did well. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) i have a renault sport clio 2002. about the same level of orange peel as the 74 914. also a high end 99 citroen XM (french trying to do merc level quality)/original paint. same level of orange peel as the renault and the 914. i have a slightly abused audi A3 that i inherited. it does not really have orange peel. you can see it in some light but its very mild compared to the other 3. i suspect it got its paint very heavily cut after some earlier collision damage to repair the nose. might have knocked the original factory finish back smoother that it was showroom. i have client with a recent toyota prado (not sure if its called that in usa, SUV). its white and very orange peel. so i dunno. could depend on the factory car came out of as much as the brand. |
