For the second time experienced paint experts ask me when I got my 74 1.8L repainted, as they say there’s mild orange peel. It’s mostly original and I’m the original owner; I know what’s been repainted or touched up ( not much).
Anyone with experience as to how much orange peel surface is/was in the 1.7 and 1.8 car bodies? Is a small amount normal, excessive, or unheard of? Would like to counter them or take the time to remove the peel. Thanks!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
