I see you from M.C. Im from N.O. What shop did you get it painted at? As far as orange peel, wetsand all the area starting with 1500 and then 1200 grit. Then after buff it out. Its going to look very slick. Since you mentioned orange peel i suggest that you to tell them to wetsand the whole car down then buff.

It's when the texture of your paint looks like an orange peel.
