How many of you have orange peel?

My car has some orange peel on the top portion (black part), the spoiler, and some on the doors but not too bad. Other than that, there's not really any noticeable.
 
Yup mine has Orange Peel paint! :( Most noticable on the sides, roof and bonnet aren't bad though! :)

It IS a FORD though!

All three cars in my household have orange peel:

- my fiancee's 99 Sunfire

- my '01 Nissan Sentra (really noticable after a detail)

- my '93 Nissan 300ZXTT (although not as bad as the other two cars)



Also my 96 Integra and 96 Prelude that I owned previously both had very noticable orange peel as well.



I've seen orange peel on brand new '04 BMW 5-series around here!!

yeah, i never really knew what OP was til i found this site and realized how much of it was on my car. The trunk, hood and top are all not bad ... doors are the worst ... and i heard someone tell me once that they had OP but after polishing so much, it's almost not noticeable ... can this happen?

Yes, lots of polishing wears down the paint until it's smooth. But we're talking a lot, years. Wetsanding will knock it right out. However, I would rather live with my OP than wetsand the car as that gives me fear.
 
My 1992 model year Peugeot 205 has it

My 1999 Peugeto has little or no orange peel just lots of crap in the paint and clear :(
