Default i have some painting question

i have been doing alot of painting the last year for side jobs 20+ cars

i have a autobody degree. and they tought us everything basic. but i have some question

i only spray ppg

on the clear coats its hard not to get dry over spray or get a good consistent orange peel on big jobs so i have been using some blending solvents dx840 on the last coat of clears and i never get any over spray and the orange peel is perfect on the last 5 or so cars ( i just thought of this one day and it work awsome)

i lay down two good coats of clear than the one with blending solvents on the 3 coat to get rid of any dry over spray or orange peels ( i do not blend on parts of the panels. i do the whole thing)

i never heard of any one doing this but they turn out perfect after and im doing them in a garage and i dont even have to sand or buff after. there almost 100% perfect except for acosional dust nib.

i know when blending on parts it will fad after a couple years but if you put your 2 coats down then the blending on the last i dont see how it will fad?

any imput??????
