Default Orange peel 07

The Orange peel in my paint is starting to bother me. I don't think this level is normal or at least it shouldn't be. Can you let me know if yours is about the same?

Dang! I dont have your answer for normality of the orange peel look on the 07's. However I have a white one and I dont have any of that.

That would **** me off too. I can already tell you GM's answer! That is normal wit that color paint!!!!!!!

Not trying to be smart or anything but did you not notice it before you bought it?

Can't really tell from your pics (looks pretty bad tho) but my black LTZ has what I've come to expect from GM.

I've discovered that if you want paint w/o orange peel, you either have to have it sanded out and buffed or buy overseas.[:'(]

FYI: I saw a new 06 Corvette with more orange peel than your Tahoe.[]

You guys will have to forgive me for being an idiot, but what is "orange peel"?

The paint in his pictures is not smooth. It is bumpy and has a texture like the outside of an orange peel.
