Powder Coat question
I bought a gloss black powder coated console from eBay. Off the bike it looks great, on the bike, against my vivid black shiny tank, it looks to orange pealed. - not bad mind you, but just not a smooth and shiny.
I have zero experience with powder coatings, and am wondering if it can be wet sanded and polished like clear coat for a glass smooth finish.

I’ve had a few parts that had some of the orange peel effect but usually it was only visible from the certain angles. I wondered if there was a way to work it out but I don’t know if there is. I’ve had to sand areas of powdercoated parts to get them to fit back up correctly and it’s not hard to get past the glossy finish. Underneath, the powdercoat was very “milky” in sheen. Looked like a hardened Play-Doh.

Not sure what you paid for the one off of eBay, but you could have had your factory console blasted and powder coated for $10 or $15 locally.
I've had every sliver or chrome part on my '15 SGS PC'd in gloss black. Not one of them has orange peel.
Contact the eBay seller.
