Yes that can common on most cars, you have to remember the cars are painted on a assembly line and they are not wetsanded and then polished before they leave the manufacturer, only high dollars cars will come from the factory with flawless paint.

I was in Vegas a few years ago and was oogling the high dollar cars and saw orange peel on a brand new Bently... Bad paint happens to even the best cars...

Johnny, jus remember Ford used Enamel as opposed to Lacquer . enamel is PRONE to Orange peel unless it IS polished out . Hey, I have painted enough stuff before , remember , I worked two Earl Schieb places .............. Ed Shaver

Good old Schieb...the king of orange peel.

I am not surprised, I think only a few car manufactures make the paint flawless before they leave the factory, and guessing Bentley is not one them now

But with the price of a Bentley it better come from the factory with a perfect paint job

The problem even with Ferrari's and Lamborghini's is the person doing the polishing job. I frequent autopia.org (a detailing forum) and see numerous paint jobs on exotics that have buffer trails, etc.
