Default How to fix my paint job.

I wasn't happy with the paint job on the spread axle truck, so I re-did it. And I made it worse. Now I have orange peel and it wrinkled on most of the body. But it didn't wrinkle until I had finished. Here are a few pic's. Would a rubbing compound bring it back to life?







Thankyou, Big John

That bites !!! Think you might have to soak it in a tub of super clean and strip the paint off of it, and start over.

Well I appreciate your help guys, and this is what I was afraid of. When I soak the body in super clean, how long should I let it soak, and what else do I need to get ready to paint yet another time?

Thanx, Big John
