I have owned numerous black BMW's over the years and one thing is certain! The paint jobs from the factory are becoming substandard. I remember back to my 1998 BMW M3 - Cosmos Black. That paint job was sooooo deep! And completley FLAT! Not a hint of orange peel. My latest - a 2010 650ic is less than perfect. There is a significant amount of orange peel. I have yet to take on the infamous color or wet sanding - and quite frankly, don't want to start now. Does anyone have a process/ product list that they have used and would be willing to share to help resolve this? Thnak you, MR. CA-BMW
I don't know of another way other than wet or dry finishing paper to eliminate 'orange peel'- but I'm always willing to learn ..
I'm not too sure with black, but for my white BMW, I find that with very glossy, reflective glazes will help make the orange peels less noticeable. Maybe try Ez creme or Poor boy's Black Hole for glaze? Of course polishing the car would be a better way, but we can't do that all the time, so the glaze might be one of the ways to "kinda" hide the orange peels a bit.
