Orange peel in this case the consequence of too little extender and thinner -- the spray started to congeal in the air on its way to the works surface. This was a 'protective barrier' clear coat, preparing the surface for water-slide decals, masked off and painted panel outlines, and dry-transfer rub-on markings; all that followed by another layer of streaking, running rust, and some oil-canning effect.
Since there is yet to be applied a well flattened clear coat later, it was enough to knock down most of the orange peel with a good wet sanding with #600 grit sand paper. That last coat of clear will be well reduced in viscosity and shot at a lower pressure; with the nozzel very up-close-and-personal to the work -- that coat will go down super wet.
