Orange peel paint?
I have sprayed my topcoat on my bodywork, It came out really orange peel.
I have tried colour sanding with 1000 grit but there is still some orange peel, Would i be better sanding with 800 grit then shoot a quick topcoat
over? The paint is celluose.

keep at it with the 1000 grade (with a little soap too)
It takes time and effort to get a good finish....
when almost there go to 1500 or finer. VERY easy to use too coarse a grade and end up regretting it....
Lots of causes of orange peel, mix to thick, gun to far away, poor gun, thinners too fast etc etc etc just sort it once it is on.

You can, but not a good idea with an electric one obviously!

flat by hand not electric or DA you may burn the paintyou could use psoo if you ar thinking of giving it another topcoat ot two. I think the paint was
too thick for the pressure you are spraying at.
Life is like a bowl of fruit, funny how all the weird looking ones are left alone
