Normals Problem?
I'm not quite sure how to explain it, but they look like little shadows here and there. They like break apart the faces in a diagnal fashion. I thought it might be something with the normals but I've played with a couple of the functions that adjust normals. But no difference. Here's a screenshot to better illustrate. I circled the area I'm talking about.
What's the problem? How do I avoid it, and how do I fix it now?

If you're not using lights or shadows, then I would think it would be the lack of geometry as suggested. I think the main thing you'd need to do in such case is simply make it quads. One thing that I sometimes do is Triangulate, and then Quadrangulate a model.

However now it begs the question, after the smooth the model is up to a little over 28,000 faces. Is there a way to avoid this to keep the face count low? That just seems a bit high to me, maybe its because I've done some models for games in the past.

try using a simple curve to draw the outline of the shape of what looks like a "plate" from ur images, the do a "revolve" then adjust the CVs from the original profile curve an after u are happy just convert to poly with the count option and specify the poly count.
that might work. or just use NURBS geometry.

The edge right before the geometry curves up to make the lip. It was slightly lower than the rest of the plate. Which is geometrically correct, but once I moved that edge up a little bit it vanshed. Seems like the system was trying to cast some wierd shadows.
