dude orange peel is a sign of not enough thinners. if the surface is bare metal then it needs to be primed but if theres paint on it sand the gloss off it with 800grit sand paper then mix the paint with however much thinners it says( mostly a 1:1 ratio) spray that on in light coats then wait 30mins or so to let it dry, then mix the hardener and the clear up together(usally a 2:1 ratio) then do 2 dry coats of this mixture(dont look for a gloss just yet) leave 10mins flash off time between coats then do one big wet coat (make sure you covered the whole painted surface with a wet coat otherwise it will look crap) now leave this to dry for however long it says without touching it till hard dry....
you should be sweet or though ive noticed painting in my garage with 2pack alot of dust and crap lands on the painted surface but this can always be cut out later on with 1600-2000grit sand paper then polished...
goodluck mate,
cheers
