It's what I do for a living. Some frame offs done here but tons of factory style paint jobs on high end cars.
I rarely, and I mean very rarely, do I ever get a customer that wants the factory finish complete with orange peel and overspray. In the last 10 years I can say there were 2. Almost everyone, regardless of the car in question, wants them sanded and buffed to perfection, and 90% of them want base/clear, which I recommend anyway if lots of buffing is in the cards and the color has any metallic in it.
So while the pole here may be very small, I'll say without a doubt the majority of people want their cars slick and shiny.
Can't say I blame them with the cost of materials and labor these days to actually do a car correctly, they don't want them coming out of here looking like they did 50 years ago with crappy panel gaps, runs, overspray, orange peel etc... LOL
However I do appreciate a car done in that manor. It's actually more time consuming with research and techniques.
