Big time orange peel after repainting

I finally got my car back repainted after it had been keyed. The rear quarter panel and door were redone. It has big time orange peel. Will this go away with time? Any suggestions?

Orange peel will not fade away. Take it back to the body shop and have them wet sand it down. Won't know if you have to go all the way to the color coat or not until you see what happens as you sand.

Sorry to say it, but it won't go away. If it is even more noticeable than stock, I would take it back to the shop and have them try to wet sand it and re-clear it, or repaint it.
