Angry Bad paint job Help!!

So first of all, I'm new to the the forum. Got my z back in July and have been loving it. I started modding a little, exhaust, cai, cf intake duct, taillights, headlights and recently decided I wanted to take a huge step and paint the roof and hatch black. My buddy goes to new England tech and said could bring it in and have it looking nice. Well he failed and now I have a black orange on my roof lol. Also the mirrors have drip spots all over it. He says he can buff It out, but honestly I dont trust the kid with my car now. I've heard wet sanding will get rid of the orange peel, but I would like some suggestions before I try to fix this problem. The paint is gloss black, no clear coat

I'm sorry man but that car just looks horrendous. Take it to a real bodyshop, but you know the old saying, you gotta pay to play.

I would think you could buff it out; someone in the detail area should know more about the application given your paint.

And loose the purple tails ewww!
