no matter how hard you try, unless conditions are 100% ideal like having a top of the line booth with infinitely variable climate controls and all top of the line equipment, you'll always have some amount of orangepeel.
If it's not even glossy tho, I wouldn't even bother with 1500 grit- you'll be out there until your arms fall off. You'd probably be better off starting with 600 or even 400 wet. If it's bad enough i usually start with 320 grit wet with a da sander just to knock the surface down quick. Then I'll hand wet sand with fine grit ad then buff with real heavy compound.
Hope this helps at all B)

WTF are you spraying houses? DO NOT use 320 grit on a painted surface, you will break through the clear or base wayyyy to easy and I dont know what magic buffing compound you have that will buff out 320 grit scratches.
