    Recommedations for entry level car to show

    Cause(s) of orange peel?

    Question for Mike, Waterborne Paint

    The only thing thats waterborn is the base coats. The clears are all still the same. Im a painter in Tx and alot of shops are now spraying waterborn. Nothing to worry about if your buffing or detailing one.
