lol spyda thats what he said, i think he means by having a mint job you need to get it back to bare metal, orangepeel is just another statement

True - you don't have to go bare metal for no peel. If the clear coat is thick enough it can also be wetsanded back to lose peel.

But you'll always notice in some lights the pulling of the other paint underneath the new coat, depends how fussy you are.

lol sorry, i thought he ment bare metal is a must for no orange peal.

How can you see it under the primer?

[OEM G60]

The paint underneath the new paint expands and contracts at a different rate to the new paint, something along those lines anyway.... It moves the new paint, causes slight ripples and imperfections.

Like i said, this is only in some lights, and you have to look very closely to pick it. Someone who paints cars for a living would no if it a bare metal respray or not.
