The problem is it's Chicane Yellow and that colour has been discontinued for 2010. Not an easy task to just swap it... and i've seen another yellow Z with the same orange peel problem. I've heard Lexus do good paint jobs but when I went to have a look at an IS-F it too had some orange peel. So even with more expensive cars you can still get it.

If you look at the light reflection on these images you will get an idea of what it looks like. It's something I could probably live with and I don't know if I could trust anyone to wetsand my car and assume it would be very costly. I guess it's just a lesson learned and next time I buy a new car I won't make the same mistake again. It's just frustrating that I spent a whole day detailing my Z with the zaino polishing kit but it ain't ever going to remove the orange peel.
