removing factory orange peel in paint
Very hard to get orange peel in the color coat. It's no where near the same viscosity. But if you spray color over something with texture, yes it will show up in your final result.
Orange peel can happen by not allowing things to dry through as well. If you clear to fast after you lay color down, escaping solvents from the color will push through the clear and cause problems. One being orange peel.

I would advise against removing any orange peel from a factory spray job. You will need to level the mountains (peel) down to the valley to flatten it all level. In doing so you will remove most of the clear coat that has the highest % of UV stablizers in the paint (upper 1mil of clear coat) and thus leading to a premature failure of the paint job.
An aftermarket job paints knowing clear will be removed, OEM does not. The thickness of clear coats is close to that of a cigrette wraper so you are sanding a very very thin layer and if you don't know what to look for as you do that process and the subsequent polishing you are playing roulette with the clear and your pocket book.
Can you safely level OEM clear coat and REDUCE peel yes, but its a fine fine you better know what you're doing!!!

When the riddler car was done this last year, it took 600,800,1000,1500, polishing to flatten the paint of a top tier painter in the world.

.05 of a mil? (1.2microns) that was super super min peel removal. most oem would require much more than that so for you you were lucky.

Resprayed under warranty for rock chips. Still in the booth, just removed the masking , 2013 Nissan altima. Customer complained it was too flat, it didn't match the rest of the cars peel, but still took it anyway.
