If you do a search on google for "color sanding" you should find some articles on removing it but it's defiantly not a DIY job, basically you'd need to get the paint checked to see how think the clear coat is then the clear has to be be block sanded flat then polsihed back up again, very very time consuming and costly something you'd only do with a show car and one slip up you'll go thru the clear coat and the entire panel will need to be resprayed.

Heaps of info on how to do it yourself and people there real helpful on how to do things correctly.I think you will need to register to view though.http://www.finalinspection.com.au/forums/This is how the pro's do it. I would look at that paint and figure it was knackered but he brought it back to better than new.http://www.finalinspection.com.au/forums/s...ght=orange+peelCheersJames Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/42113-blurry-reflections/#findComment-626427 Share on other sites More sharing options...
