    Did you not use a flex additive for the bumpers?

    The orange peel is from how you sprayed it. It's expected you aren't familiar with painting cause it was your first time. All you need to do is wet sand and then buff. The flex additive helps the bumper from rock chips and helps the paint stick a little better.
