I have caught myself doing this. Not a safe habit, but it's hard to resist seeing what your car looks like moving down the road. Maybe, I will invest in a drone camera to follow me around and take movies from different angles

I did notice the paint on my 2014 LS has about the same orange peel as my 2010 Prius. I was told that Lexus sand the paint on the LS but I suspect that is a myth.

Don't know what to tell you. Paint on my 2015 feels and looks much better quality than any other Toyota/Lexus I've had, and I've had a lot of them.
