I think it was Valspar but I can't remember for sure. I checked to see if I still have the cans and I could not find them. I think my wife chucked them. Anyway, I got a nice smooth finish. The key to avoiding orange peel is doing multiple SUPER THIN coats and making sure to wait for it to dry completely in between coats. It would also help to sand with some fine grit paper between coats as well. I used some spray enamel. I think it was Valspar but I can’t remember for sure.

I can't see from the pics if the finish is nice and smooth. If so, how did you get it nice and smooth (i.e. no orange peel finish). I'm using enamel paint (for tractors and farm equip). and I have valspar clear coat enamel. Not sure if my finish is goinf to be what I want. Did you use Valspar enamel paint and clear coat?
