Default help with paint

ok guys you have all seen my build thread, i need to get the orange peel out of the paint, what grit sand paper should i go with when i wet sand and what kind of buff compound should i use from start to finish? i really need the help because i wet sanded the gas door and buffed it and its going to have to be re-cleared and i dont want to screw anything else up because i really need to get the car done soon.

go with 2000 grit with a wet block
it's going to take a little time but done rush it
as far as a compound i'd go for the 3M perfectet 2 with a wool pad
if your not that good at buffing go with a presta buffing kit three steps and it works lovely i promise you (no more then 1600 rpms on the wheel with that)
