Orange peel

I gotta say this little 45-50 degree cold spell we are having is really trying my patience , I was looking at it this morning and realized theres 2 hidden strips that are@ 2"×10" where the bumper brackets mount that I can play with , so I am going to mask them off and experiment some so I can understand some of the terminology that you guys are throwing around lol. 1 is getting a couple of coats of clear as is and the other us getting a light wet sand with some 2500 then a couple of coats of clear .My High School had the motto "We learn by doing" and this seems like a learning opportunity if ever I saw one .Thanks again for everyones help I'm not trying to be hard headed I just sometimes need to see something develope first hand so I can grasp the whole picture.
