Factory paint, I'm sure if I got it under the right light you'd see it. The whole front end and drivers side doors are new paint b/c of an accident, but even those aren't much better than the original paint.

No wet sanding, just a lot of gloss. If you follow visually the lines on the hood of my wifes equinox or the rooflines of the condos in the background you can see the wavy presence of orange peel.

Good prep work goes a long ways to hide it as well as it adds clarity to the reflection.

Shots from my truck here, taken with a crappy cell camera that are all washed out...


Hood reflection of trees overhead... I thought this one was awesome
