Default paint

ive had my sti for 18 months now and one thing that bothers me is the drivers side paint looks rippled in the correct light.
i know it was repainted on drivers side both doors due to being keyed before i had it.
now dont get me wrong it is not bad just noticable to me.
does anyone know if it can be corrected without repainting?

its probably 'orange peel' take it to a good (recommended) body shop and they can get rid of it. Its really common to get it after a spray job mate
