Default Paint issues

I have a proposed solution to the "Orange Peel" problem for C7owners.
I propose that we refer to it as "texture".
This is what the Ferrari dealer called it when my friends $240,000 red Ferrari arrived. We went to pick it up and questioned the quality of the paint by using the orange peel analogy. He quickly corrected us with the "texture" analogy and we felt much better as we were driving away. Just sayin.
