Default Wet Sanding

Hey guys I am new to the forum. I just got my car painter metallic black but because the paint job was not 'showroom' material, it doesn't look as shiny and smooth. I have had suggestions of wet sanding the paint. Is this a goood idea? will it work? or will wet sanding my new paint just make it worst?

thanks in advance

If you have no experience do not attempt this. I used to paint and have experience doing the cut/buff, colorsanding and it is very easy to ruin a good paint job fast.
If the car was done professionaly then have them do it. It will get rid of the orange peel and make the car look like a million bux.

That's the thing, I went to do it professionally and because of the cheap labor I paid for its not showroom condition. If I took it somewhere else, would they be able to make it better...

Do you mean the paint job is cheap ? or the car was cheap ?
Either way I think it would be best to run it by a reputable repair/paint facility to see what they can do. Unless you can get some good pix
