Almost at my breaking point

Orange Peel is present in all production cars. Apparently it is due to the EPA regulations and being more Green. The paints of years past did not cause orange peel but they were felt to harm the environment. That is why even high end cars have orange peel today. The other factor is cost and building to a price point. If you applied good paint then wet sanded it down between coats and then applied several other coats with sanding then you could take much of the peel out however, this is labor intensive and will not happen unless you pay for a good paint job. Given that, do as suggested and detail your car and learn to live with the life choce of a black car or have it repainted or sell it.
