Do not expect the same paint quality as your Porsche. I have owned a few 997s and the quality is no where near Porsche's level. No insult to the M intended, but that is how I see it. Sadly, I have seen many lesser priced cars with less orange peel.
I agree, at a distance its not even noticeable, it has to be pretty close to your face before you can tell. Photographs pick up the orange peel easier than the eye too.
