I have a 99 that is Black. I've noticed orange peel in the paint job. Is this normal? Paint looks great and glossy otherwise

normal well documented and discussed by Dave Hill

Get it wet sanded and polished and it will look alot better, Talk to a reputable body shop.

Look at almost every production line car. They all mostly have it. My wife's BMW had it, my trailblazer has it. The darker the car the more you can notice it.

Thanks guys for the information. I don't feel to bad now. the pain looks really sharp and glossy except when you are up close and get relly nit picky. i guess I am nit picky with my vette.

It's due to EPA regulations and machine painting. It's on almost all factory cars...

Have it sanded/buffed by a quality bodyshop and you'll be happy

Yep, 2000 here, DBGM and orange peel is bad. There was a thread recently with someones black C5 with before and after wetsanding pics. The differences were astonishing!

GM paint sucks.

My 01 Z has runs on the front bumper.

I love my Z, but for how much it cost, you would think that they could have done a little better job on the paint.
