A 240? Got to ask, was it light brown?

Had a look at my MK5 Golf today (Solid Black), can't see any vidence of orange peel paint work, the only think I can see is very fine swirls (like brushed metal). Looks good to me.

Was tricky compairing against my other car which is metalic silver and looks mirror perfect to the eye (but that could just be me).

Light blue actually, and it wasnt mine !!

Some cars are better than others for orange peel - the age, temperature, 'strength' of the paint bath all influence the surface amongst other parameters.
