There are some foreign builders that have discovered that a very thin layer of paint will prevent the orange peel effect, the problem is that after a couple of dozen wax jobs the primer starts to show through.

Some high end cars go through the process of a final wet sand and buff. But that is not financially viable for the majority of production cars. _____________________________ 2004 BMW M3 2007 Tahoe, LTZ 2006 Tonykart Krypton (125) (in reply to ZX1100F1) Post #: 13

Can't wait to see this on the Tahoe. Are there any other new goodies like this (excluding the hybrid) coming for the '08 Tahoe or are there some things being saved or '09? Can you comment ZX?
