I looked at several cars, a jetta, caravan, honda and a caddy while walking at lunch today, all silver metallic and no sign of orange peel in any of them. Is this something peculliar to silver? or was this unusual?
 
The orange peel is there, it is just difficult to see. One nice thing about light colors is that from a distance, they can appear to be perfect. Once you get up close and personal, you realize the paint is of typical quality with orange peel.
 
My fathers silver BMW has pretty bad orange peel. Kinda dissapointed about that, but not every car is perfect.
 
Yeah, all our b/c silver cars have had orangepeel, and it's pretty awful on the A8 and S8, especially for cars in that class :(



When I (finally) got the S8 detailed just the way I wanted it, the OP was even more noticeable. Somebody else would probably be tempted to wetsand it.
 
Hmmmm....both my 2000 VehiCROSS in Kaiser Silver, and my 2005 Chrysler 300C in Bright Silver Metallic, are without any trace of orange peel anywhere. Perhaps I've been smiled upon by the auto paint gods?
