Orange Peel

looking to get rid of orange peel. I bought the truck and it was repainted but it has lots of orange peel. It was a flipper—ya live an learn.

so it’s a single stage summit racing acrylic urethane paint. I have been searching and searching on YT to get good ideas and plan

I’m unsure what grit to start with—-maybe 1500 and see how that goes then either up or down depending how the 1500 goes. I plan to try and go up to 2000 and maybe 2500/3000. Plan to do it by hand and wet sand. Once I get done with that, plan to do an compound and then polish. There are so many compounds
Out there—what’s a good recommendation to fix a sanding of 2500. I have never buffed before but was looking to get a buffer/polisher. The next question is a long or short throw. Is there one better than the other? I read the long throw will help get the finisher faster. Any recommendations for a beginner? Don’t say Harbor Freight because we don’t have those. I’m looking to spend under $200 for buffer/polisher.

Thanks.
