Default orange peel gone?

I think my c5 paint finish was beautiful but I know most chevys have a little orange peel. Will the new Corvette paint shop have any effect on making the paint a little smoother?
I saw the thread about spraying the frame instead of dipping it. That does not seem better to me but what do I know? My c6 will not be driven on salted roads anyway. In Kansas they seem to pave with it in the winter. Is spraying preferred to dipping?

The response I received: "Orange Peel / We recently started a new clear coat formula at Bowling Green which greatly improves this situation."
