Sean,

Orange peel is the textured surface of paint that resembles the peel of an orange. It is caused by the paint drying too fast and not 'flowing' out. It is hard to get a flawless finish without sanding and buffing. OEM cars have a great deal of orange peel because of the time and cost factors. It can really be seen on the white stipes in the above photos.

Hope that answers your question.
