Who can wet sand to eliminate orange peel I bought a cadillac that has mojor orange peel on the rear trunk area and rear qurtr panels. I guess the car has been repainted before. Could use a good wet sand and buff job.
It doesnt look bad, but i notice it bigitme.
Anyone here know anyone that can do this?
estimate on price? Possible airbrush bartor?
A body shop quoted me $300 to wetsand and buff but just to remove swirls. Not to eliminate orange peel. Will it produce same results?
ill try and post pics of the orange peel leter tonight.

If the body shop is already wet sanding to remove swirls i would think it wouldn't be too hard for them to eliminate the orange peel while they're at it. It's not a hard process, i've done it quite a few times. As long as the clear is thick enough that there is enough to wet sand off, that way they don't break through and then you have to pay to have it re-sprayed.

He asked if wet sanding and buffing to remove swirls could also get rid of orange peel. I was answering his question saying yes it can, as long as there is enough clear on the car for some to be wet sanded off and still have plenty left.
