It's all about wetsanding. Even the best spray job in the world will have orange peel until it is wetsanded.

Without any wetsanding, obviously an experienced painter with a spray gun will do the best job, but for the money, there are other ways around it. My friend painted his truck with a compressor and PPG paints and everything, and any flaws were just sanded out, the thing looks better than almost any stock paint, and could be done even better if he spent more time, but he just wanted something that looked pretty good, because the truck gets used, so a show winning paint job doesn't matter.
