That can be sanded and buffed out. Just a little extra time and effort involved. Don't know what paint you bought but many are actually designed to leave some orange peel in order to match many factory automotive finishes. Incorrect air pressure or too high a temperature for the catalyst not letting the clear lay down can also cause this. Let an expert do the sanding if you don't know what you're doing.

 

designed to leave some orange peel .... I've been painting a long time and I never bought any paint with "orange peel in the can" :>) Proper application techniques were not used here ... plain and simple.

 

Dupont Chronar (thank god they don't make it now!) clearly stated on the label. And yes the painter did a lousy job!

 

It was Harley paint, purchased from Harley. Not sure what brand it is. Glad I am not just being picky here. I sure hope he can fix it. Like I said, I was shocked to see it like this.

 

The local HD shop recommended him eh? Must be some ones relative or something.

 

Christ that's hideous

 

Hoping he will make things right for ya! It looks fixable but will take a lot of careful sanding and buffing on someones part. It might be better to have it sanded and a new slick coat of clear shot on it in this case.

 

Have him repaint the rest of your bike to match. LOL

 

I haven't done any painting in years, but I've shot beater cars with rattle cans that looked better than that. And it would be a lot eaiser to fix that job without the hardware on it - why he didn't do it right before he sent it out is beyond me...

I'd be pissed, and I'm usually a mellow dude.

 

I painted cars and motorcycles professionally for 20 years. That paint job sucks. Take it back and insist he take care of it
