    I need to render a product with a textured paint finish that I can only
    describe as "orange peel". Does anyone have any suggestions, there are
    loads of plastic textures in SW2007 but I can get anything close at the
    moment.

    For your orange-peel surface finish, you can always start a custom
    material and select the surface finish 'from file'. If you can't find
    a good one online, you can make one pretty quickly from a photo using
    your image editing software (like photoShop). Remember, its greyscale,
    with the lighter stuff indicating raised areas and darker stuff
    indicating depth.
