Heat the cans on a radiator before you paint, have a heater where you're painting.
Leave for 24 hours, then use wet 2000 grit paper to smooth, and loads of T-Cut, then polish to a shine. -------------------- |

I had the same problem, except mine was an orange Porsche model with orange peel. Oh well.
What does heating up the paint do? Makes it more fluid so it comes out more uniform? |

I think everything will have some orange texture in it (new cars have that too if you look closely). Bet way would be to wet send it and polish the paint.

Heating the paint does it allow it to be more uniform. Basic stuff really. When things are cold atoms tend to contract and when they are hot they tend to expand. If a car is painted in the proper environment then you really shouldnt get orange peel (ie right temp and humidity). T-Cut is a scratch compound IIRC, but yeah, wet sand, use a cutting/scratch compound (not really needed, but for optimal results), then buff and buff and buff.

that's why i love hawaii and garage painting
 yeah wet sand with 2k grit then see if you can find and sand paper higher that 2k and then rubbing coupound or whatevers, then polishing compound. i would go talk to a detail shop that does this kind of stuff. Im lucky to know some lexus owners and one of them is a detail magician, so i could get the job done after my gold pearl good luck
