Even the paint on my current daily driver is very flat, and it too was not a particularly expensive car
Wetsanding is very, very labor intensive, but it's what many cars need, even from brand new, to bring the most out of the paint. We painted my entire 350Z here at the shop a couple years ago. We spent around 30 hours wetsanding it afterwards, to ensure it was perfect. Look up detailers in your area, I'd bet you'll find that the ones truly worth using will be happy to go through the process for you, and the paint will look amazing as a result

Well, there was an M6 and a 911 Turbo that parked next to me in my apartment parking lot(belonged to the past manager) and I have noticed a considerable amount of orange peel in both of them. Though I can't quite say for sure if it came like that from factory.
Off-topic but in addition to the M6 and 911 Turbo, he had a Z4, Land Rover, Cayenne S, and a S-class. He used to park all his cars in the handicap and guest parking spaces but I assume he abruptly got fired one day because he was moving out all his cars one by one and street parking em right outside the gate. What a shame seeing all those cars parked outside in the cold.
