Does this work for pinholes?

[@3MCollision]

Hi there! Thanks for your question!
Please note that this process will not fill in pinholes. Also, you would have to apply a glazing putty or high build primer that is capable of filling pinholes. Hope this helps.

no fish eyes. now you can show how to remove orange peel

[@3MCollision]

Hi there! Thanks for your question!
Please note to remove orange peel from the paint, you can try using a rubbing compound. If that does not remove it you can try using a fine abrasive. Hope this helps.

Lol! Those are not fisheyes! Thats dry spray. You fixed dry spray with more dry spray. 3M, you're not a paint company.
