oh wow, i feel your pain dude! but like you said, decision time to rebuild or replace.

as for the orange peel effect, you will always have orange peel in paint. just need to cut and polish after to get the mirror shine. take practice to get it right on styrene, but when done holy smooth! 2500 paper to start with. then final cut with 3000 sand paper. then 3 stage polish compounds with low to really low polisher rpm's. takes time but well worth it.
