You can buff it out with the right compound and pad.

I'm sure that would help too. I personally dont know how to go about it but I have seen plenty of books out there that have step-by-step directions on painting.

I had some guy do some minor body work and paint and he painted more of the car than we discussed and ended up doing a ****ty job. So, now im trying too figure out how to get this orange peel smoothed out.

can you bring it back to him and ask him to fix it? You paid him to make it match and if he cant fix it then he should pay to have someone do it.

wet sand with 1200-1500 grit. finish it with 1500-2000 grit. Buff the scratches out with rubbing compound using a high speed polisher. 3M Perfect It III rubbing compound works great.
