My C4S had the same sort of thing on the painted side skirts, mostly closer to the rear wheels where they flare out a little bit. I never understood why, and it didn't really bug me, but if you get an answer from the horse's mouth, please share.

Hi folks,
I was washing the new GTS the other day and I noticed a strange texture to the lower section of the side of the car (both sides). I've attached a photo which I hope is clear. The paintwork on the car seems generally good, but this lower section has a rough texture to it, and the very bottom seems really rough. I only noticed it because I was up close to it while washing. Is this normal?

"Bumpy" = normal
"WTF" = If that's all there is, I wouldn't worry about it.

I was washing my car today, noticed this at the rear of the skirt on one side. I freaked out a bit until I realised it went down the whole side of the car, on both sides but I was wondering what was going on.
Thanks for this thread, I don’t have to worry about it now!

Noticed the same thing the day I got my car lol, figured it had to be normal.

Looks like protective film to protect the panels from road debris. For the 992, Porsche offers protective film from the factory for the front as well.

I just read this and immediately went to the garage to see if mine were the same, which they are albeit very slight, and I have the factory painted side sills and the paint on those is perfect. By the way, there is zero orange peel on my paint, anywhere, and coming from a C7 I know what orange peel is.
