A soft, bumpy pattern which is seen in most paint finishes resebling the skin of an orange, and desired to be recreated during most Paintless Dent Repairs
A pebbled film surface similar to the skin of an orange in appearance. It is caused by too rapid drying before leveling takes place.
This defect gives the paint finish the rough appearance similar to the outside of an orange. The defect is found in spray painting and is generally due to having the wrong solvent. It can also be due to an incorrectly adjusted spray gun. The solution is to use the manufacturers recommended thinner and to adjust and use the gun correctly.
A surface in which small circular craters appear in the film that gives an appearance similar to the rind of an orange. The result of improper spray technique or the application of an enamel with a roller.

Texture of paint surface, resembles orange peel skin.
A type of wallboard finish with a texture like that of an orange peel.
A granular surface on coated or printed paper that looks like orange peel.
A roughened surface that is visible to the unaided eye.
A finish that exhibits a surface texture resembling the surface of an orange. Normally caused by rolling a finish that has cured excessively which freezes the roller pattern in the film. May also be caused by excessive airflow, the velocity of which freezes waves in the film when it sets.
A surface defect which appears on the surface of metal which had been over annealed or heated, the defect is similar to orange peel in appearance and is caused by excessive grain growth within the structure of the metal.
Surface roughening on formed products which occurs when large grains in the metal are present. An irregularity in the surface of a paint film resulting from the inability of the wet film to level out, or become smooth after being applied, thus resembling the surface of an orange. This finish may be considered desirable or a defect depending on the end use.
on a semiconductor wafer, large-featured roughened type of surface visible to the unaided eye. Also see spiral.
An irregularity in the surface of a paint film resulting from the inability of the wet film to level out after being applied. Orange peel appears as a characteristically uneven or dimpled surface to the eye, but usually feels smooth to the touch.
1. A pitted texture of a fired glaze resembling the surface of rough orange peel. 2. Spray painting defect in which the lacquer coat does not level down to a smooth surface but remains rough, like the peeling of an orange.
Defect in finish film usually caused by cool drying temperatures or improper fluid tip size. The finish looks like the surface of an orange.
The dimpled appearance of a dried paint film resembling the peel of an orange.
Uneven, pebbly surface somewhat resembling the skin of an orange; appears in a paint film that has been applied by spray.
Roughened appearance of a sprayed film caused by improper solvent balance. Also the effect caused when enamels are allowed to dry for a short time and then rolled.
A paint surface with a texture of "hills and valleys" similar to the skin of an orange. Excessive orange peel is considered a paint defect. It can be reduced by sanding, compounding, and polishing.
An uneven surface of a material somewhat resembling an orange peel.
Orange peel is high in bioflavonoids and delivers relief from occasional heartburn, acid indigestion, and upset stomach. In addition, orange peel also has diuretic properties.
The surface of the dried coating film resembles the skin of an orange. This effect is often the result of the use of a roller for the application of a coating, particularly if it is rolled out thinly and unable to level out to a smooth film.
A pebbled surface similar to that of an orange skin. This is generally caused by the coating not leveling out completely after application by spraying.
A pebbled appearance of a surface. Small, rounded hills and valleys caused by uneven liquid flow in coating or printing.

A pebble-grain surface which develops in forming of metals having coarse grains.
A surface roughening (defect) encountered in forming products from metal stock that has a coarse grain size. It is due to uneven flow or to the appearance of the overly large grains usually the result of annealing at too high a temperature. Also referred to as pebbles and alligator skin.
