Default Orange peel?

Hello Honda-tech! New member here.
Just got my car recently painted, the overall finish looks flawless, but to the touch you can definitely feel some overspray or "orange peel" in some areas.

Is there any other way to get rid of that other than sanding and buffing? Will this overspray eventually ruin the quality of my paint or clearcoat?

Any help is appreciated!

Overspray and orange peel are 2 very different things. Can you post pics?

Orange peel= poor painting techniques or has not been color sanded and buffed. Orange peel is something you typically see in your paint and cant really feel it unless its really bad.

Overspray usually happens from a careless painter. If you can feel it to the touch its most likely overspray. In that case you might be able to use a good clay bar and some elbow grease to get it off.

Post up some good pictures of the paint from different angles and we will help you out any way we can.

Removing orange peel without sanding or buffing? Well you cannot remove it by looking at it. Youll have to sand it out with fine grit sand paper.

well u will still get swirl marks no matter what you do, some people will rub hand glaze on after by hand (pita) but that will help with swirl marks but not very well, and depending on how you buff/buffed the car you either will notice them more easy or you wont idk its what i learned threw the years iv done body work.
