Mitsu's paint isnt that bad if you take care of it... By that i mean being totally **** and waxing your car once a week and washing it 3 times a week... 
. Also if you want great paint go Mercedes. Their clear coat is so F'in hard its nearly impossible to scratch unless you take a knife to it.

Mitsu paint is total crap!!! I can spend hours washing, polishing, using the best stuff and my wife's saturn black looks 10x deeper and wetter with just a wash, polish, wax then my car ever will. Nissan black is where it's at though the best black on the market IMO.

i have some of the same issues with my Rally Red(phoenix red) IX. Paint chips easily and has some weird blemishes. My old Soob was even worse. Any dark color will show worse

"orange peel" is when your paint has little pin holes all over it, that makes it look like the peel of an orange.
Just got my EVO back from getting the hood, front bumper, trunklid and spoiler painted. Detailed the wntire car, and I am a very happy man...except the inside of the car smells a bit like paint.

This is [extreme] orange peel. It's referring to the waviness in the clearcoat, not pinholes.
This is 'fish eye,' a white dot with a circle of paint around it, resulting from contamination of the painting substrate before paint (the pinholes)
What you're describing as overspray sounds more like a problem with the timing or distance used in the paint process. If a coat is sprayed too lightly, or from too far away, or too long after the last coat, you get that grainy, sandy feel. (Spray a can of paint toward a sheet of paper some feet away and you'll get this effect from the solvents in the paint evaporating before the paint lands.)
