Default Rattlecan paint question??

I was trying to paint some extra interior peices that I had lying around. First, I sanded the peice until all of the texture was off and ended up with 320. Then I used Bulldog adhesion promoter and did a light coat and then a medium. Then I used a duplicolor primer, heavy build, and sanded that smooth with 320. Then I used High temp black spray can paint and did 6-7 light to medium coats. This is where I had a problem. I noticed that the paint dried with a texture. I wondered if it was because that type of paint has ceramic in it to help with heat. Then I sanded that down from 320 and finally ended with 1000. Then I used a high temp clear with ceramic and after 6-7 coats, it dried with some bad orange peel.

What did i do wrong and what should i do about the orange peel. What should I sand it with and then polish it with.

Thanks for the help, and I'm glad I tried this with some extra interior peices.

Wet sand with 2000, then hit it with ScratchX and follow up with NXT or whatever wax you prefer.
