Orange peel is generally caused by incorrect spray gun setup, incorrect material mixing, or the most common (not enough practice!)
Spraying paint/clear is easy making it lay down like glass is an art!
Orange peel can be removed with 1500 grit sand paper on a firm block (if there is enough clear). Factory paint jobs are 1.5 coats thick and generally not enough to sand out the orange peel and polish. Now the cottage cheese/fat lady leg (bigger uneven waves in the panel) that you see is from the filler/primers under the base. You need to have each level of the process as straight as possible starting with the metal, fillers, and primers.
