New Paint... Orange Peel??? *PICS*
 
So I just had the whole passenger side of my truck repainted and body work done up and down the whole side of the truck (lived a previous life as a work truck). If you notice in the first picture it seems you can see reflections better far away than right up on the paint. I don't know if he used cheap paint, didn't apply it right, didn't clear enough or what, but it seems to have that orange peel effect to the paint when you touch it and it's very very dull!

Do you guys think I should let someone who knows what they are doing look at it and possible be able to fix it? Do you think they possible could just wet sand it and polish the paint to bring out that crystal clear shine and glass smoothness?

I havent been in the painting business for quite awhile,, but to me it looks like the paint was a lil dry when they sprayed it. Kinda like they moved the gun to fast and didnt watch for the gloss, to come out. I would go back to whomever painted it and complain. A good paint job should be clear and glossy and fairly smooth and should reflect clearly.

if its a single stage paint your stuck with it if its got a clear coat it might come out with a buffing

yea....both the above comments are correct. I'd go back to the painter first.
