You mentioned that you were 3 weeks into ownership of the car, so since you didn't take delivery of the car when new, I don't understand how you could be certain that the previous owner didn't colorsand the paintwork at some point during those 15 or so years prior to you taking delivery.

The photos posted here also dont show a presence (of lack of) orange peel. I can tell you my lapis blue 2001 definitely has orange peel - see attached, zoomed in picture of underground parking garage ceiling reflections in rear fender is evidence.

I'm glad that you're happy with your Porsche and its paintwork, though. I can't wait to give mine a polish. Already had all the dings removed.
