Even a first-year model, $90k USD, 2009 BMW M3 has loads of orange peel and paint defects. It's not a matter of figuring out how to paint a car... the line the 370Z is being built on in the Tochigi plant is virtually brand new. It's a matter of fine-tuning it. You simply cannot, realistically, expect a virtually flawless, $30-40k first-year model car. If the new M3 can get orange peel even with the Regensberg plant's rigorous quality control, I'm pretty sure the 370Z can get moisture under the clear.
Besides, I believe that it's a known fact that red is a difficult color to paint. The best solution is to simply avoid it.
