This look better? I think the extra effort will be worth it. I resanded, repainted and re-cleared. Clearcoat is nice and thick, so should be easy to polish out the orange peel and achieve a high gloss.

Some day I'd like to invest in some actual automotive painting equipment and learn how to properly paint a car.

I thought it looked good earlier. Any flaws then were really only visible to your eye. Camera doesn't pic them up. Just like taking a pic of my front bumper. Looks fantastic in pictures, naked eye sees something that looks to have seen the business end of a 12 gauge.

So true. Once on the car and out of the garage, I'm sure all the imperfections will jump out. My whole car is a "looks great from 10 - 20 feet away" vehicle. LOL.
