Sand it with 1500 grit wet sandpaper and buff then orange peel gone.

I doubt adding more clearcoat will help. There may be a underlying problem.

Is it orange peel or did it fisheye? I would say wet sand it with 600 and try not to hit the color. If you hit the color you'll know because you see the sandpaper pick it up. Once your done then clear in again and use a little bit of reducer in your clear, spray with some heat lamps and maybe try a slower reducer. Should come out like glass. Good Luck!
