Orange peel

Definition, practical relevance and related concepts.

Definition

Fine visible surface texture in reflected light that may originate from the paint, film construction or installed PPF surface.

Why it matters

A comparison should use the same substrate and lighting. Do not assume a reflected texture originates only in the film. If appearance is critical, inspect a completed sample and agree an acceptance expectation before fitting.

Apply the concept
