The clear coat on the roof came with a lot of orange peel.
The after-sales of the brand decided to do a sanding and polishing to remove, however the orange peels continue, the roof is entirely scratched and now some small marks have appeared.

As it is a friend's car, I would like to help you solve it.

I find it hard to believe it came from the Porsche factory like this. Are you sure there wasn't damage to it, then someone tried to repair it? Ive seen these GT2RS roofs in person several times and they always had an A class finish. To fix it you would need to wet sand the surface down all the way until orange peel is gone, then polish it. Otherwise you would need to sand it flat and clear coat again

Looks like they have already rubbed through the clear coat into the carbon though, so I feel it will need the full process. I'm also surprised this is from Porsche, this is a full on amateur job. Haven't seen orange peel like that since I first started spraying. 


Dezer, yes, flatting the clear coat down and respraying it will certainly fix the issue - orange peel is a paint issue. I feel Porsche should be more than capable of rectifying it, in fact I'm surprised they aren't damn ashamed of that and demanded it back to fix the issue. Something doesn't feel right if this is what they have delivered.


almost look like some one overlaid the roof. Make it look like a weissach package?
