When applying clear it all "MELTS" together if sprayed within the "RECOAT" window, which is usually between 10-25 minutes, at 70 degrees. So orange peel in the first appplication of clear, really isn't a factor, it is the last coat, if sprayed withen the "WINDOW" that will have the most effect on orange peel. I know with PPG Deltron clear you can over reduce the clear on the last application, to help reduce orange peel, and help MELT the clear coats together, because they will still be "WET". If you sand between every coat of clear like Viki did, you better be very careful, because your not going to a very high build of clear, and you could burn through the clear, into the color. And your going to work until your arms fell like they're gonna fall off. You can get a real nice shiney, reflective, paint job just by colorsanding the peel out, and buffing, and polishing. I still recommend at least 3 coats of clear before color sanding, especially if you have never done it before. And by the way Vikki, that is a sweet ride, I have always loved that body style.
