HELP!! orange peel

I recently got my car painted by a "pro" who has done it in his shop for 30 yrs. When I got it back there was serious orange peel all over. I've been told wet sanding will take this out but no way will i attermpt that myself. I was wondering about how long it takes and about how much it would cost.

Don't be afraid to do this yourself.If you have a garage, an afternoon, sandpaper, water and buffer you can do it. Several post in the past have been dedicated to this subject, just do a "wetsand" search. If you choose to pay it will be around $300.00 depending on how bad. Even new cars have orange peel. It is well worth it to wetsand your car and the mirror look will make you happy.

BTW: If you do it your self the cost will be 1/4 the $300.00, so take your time and keep the money in your pocket.

P.S. Maybe you can see the wetsand job in my sig or go to my "readers ride" to see it better.
