Its not bad orange peel, will have to get someone else to back me up there.

You can either machine polish it out, or wetsand followed by machine polish.

You may need another spray if you don't know how to use a machine polisher

Dont try it, it will end in disaster.

Give it a go with the DA first. You should be able to see some difference with it.

If you have to give it a wetsand, make sure you buy a panel to practise on first.

machine polishing wont do much tbh, needs wetsanding IMO. unless you are VERY confident i wouldnt do it yourself.

Body shop should of wet sanded it then buffed it tbh thats if you got it resprayed which i know you were saying you were

it should wet sand out though, depending on the paint depth although like people have said about 3 - 4 pass's with a rotary/pc may just get rid of it
