Almost, or I should say, ALL cars from the factory come with some orange peel, even the new corvettes have orange peel, If you have a quailty shop doing your paint I'm sure you will still have some orange peel unless you specify that you want it buffed and polished. You can save money by doing it yourself, BUT, you need to know what your doing. Colorsanding is the "KEY" to a perfect showroom finish, where it looks like you are looking into a mirror, the color is so deep you could fall in. I've done this several, several times, but it takes practice, patience, and knowledge, but "ANYONE CAN" do it. Make sure the paint shop puts on at least 3 coats of clear. WET sand, start with 1000 grit paper and a soft foam block, use good paper like 3m, buy it in the sheets and split them down the middle,fold them over your foam block, this will give you three sides of paper to use.Keep the paper wet, I use a bucket of water to keep my paper in, and also a spray bottle, i also use a little bit of dish soap in the water. Remove most of the peel with the 1000 grit, then move to 1500, and remove the 1000 grit scratches with the 1500, and the rest of the peel, then move to 2000, to remove the 1500 grit scratches, all your orange peel and dust nibs, should be gone by this point. From there you can buff it out with a GOOD quality buffer and " 3m Perfect It" or "System One" polish, system one is nice you have one polish and three pads, where as the 3m has three polishes, and 2 pads. Don't buy a cheap buffer from Wal mart or the likes go with a Dewalt or Makita, or that type. This can be done by anyone, just give yourself plenty of time, it doesn't have to be done in a couple days, it can go up to a week if working in the evenings or when ever you get the time. Just be very careful near the edges,because the paint is very thin there, and if you burn through the clear your not gonna like that. It's always nice to have someone to ask questions when you first start out, so let me know, I would consider myself an expert on this subject. Just to clarify, "color sanding is not sanding the COLOR, it is sanding the clearcoat, Your base gives you the color, but it is very dull, then when you apply the clear, that is where the shine come from. There is more to it than this breif paragraph, but it gives you an idea, and some questions you can ask your paint shop about. Maybe i'll do a "how to" on this, if people are interested????
