Default Reflection Pic of my SP LS460

i wish there was no orange peel because the shine would be amazing... my Obsidian GS was almost orange peel free, that's why i was able to get that sic shine.

It looks great orange peel or not. If it makes you feel better, most brand new Ferraris have orange peel also lol.

Car looks great! That orange peel is on the 'better side' from what I have seen.

Check out how bad the peel was on this GT-R I worked on... some of the worst I have ever seen (besides resprayed paint)

"Whoa", the peel on that GTR is ridiculous. May as well count my blessings that the peel isn't nearly as bad on my car. I see your mistress is parked in the background stalking you... Probably keeping an eye on you to make sure you don't get to friendly with the GTR can you imagine the gloss level if there was no peel on that GTR...

Yeah, I was pretty upset that the peel was so bad... really made my 14 hours of hard work look pretty lame, but it was still an improvement from how it started.
