Orange Peel Paint?

What is the condition of your cobalt's paint? I have seen some cobalts with really wavy paint, and I have seen some with very smooth. I am kinda worried about ordering my car because I do not want to get an orange peel special. thanks for any input.

Orange peel paint...that's funny. I haven't really noticed anything from the Cobalts that I've looked at.

Orange peel

There's no orange peel on mine, it is very smooth. I do however have a few nicks and a small scratch right off the showroom floor. So yes the paint is in my view somewhat soft.
My car is in the gallery, take a look.

All GM cars have some sort of ornage peel effect on the paint, more noticaeble on the metalic and darker colors, even my 2000 Corvette has orange peel. I did not buy this car for its stellar paint job, but rather for it kick performance and price.
