So I just spray my engine bay with a hvlp gun (first time spraying anything). Very happy with the results but in some area I've got a bit of orange peel. My paint setup I had was omni brand paint, can doesn't say why type of paint, but with a reducer and hardener at a 8.1.1 ratio. I've done a fair bit of research on getting rid of orange peel but haven't come up with a solid answer. Can I wetsand with 2000-2500 grit and then polish it with a hard polish or scratch remover? Or will that mess up the metallics in the paint? I could just leave it but would like it to look as nice as possible. Thanks you guys in advance
