Dan - "orange peel" comes from a couple problems. Most times if I get an orange peel effect it is because I dont have the paint thinned out enough and it does not get on the surface smoothly. If you have sanded the surface "baby butt smooth" and then apply several coats of propperly thinned paint it will be smooth. Paint applied too dryly begins the orange peel effect. It is critical to get the viscosity right - too thin and the paint will run. Always use appropriate thinner. Sometimes it can be the fact the gun size may be too small or too low in pressure and not make the paint flow properly. Hope this helps.
