Default Quick paint question

Ok so i just painted some of my car with acrylic enamel and I let it dry over night and such and I would like to put one more full coat on it, but I dont really want to sand it. Would it look like orange peel if i didnt? I mean I never waxed it or anything or put any other substance on it...So would it be safe to just apply another coat after cleaning it and not get any sort of wrinkle/peel effect? thanks for any info...

Cliff

damn man, you'll prob need to sand it and shoot it again, you are supposed to spray the coats within like 15 minutes of each other after they "tack" up and once dry its done unless you want to wet sand it for that ultimate glassiness. What are the directions on the paint?

its acrylic enamel. I knew that I had to coat every like 15 minutes, but it was getting dark out so I couldnt do it. I missed a few spots so it still had primer showing so I just went by it and wiped it down and sprayed that spot....Looks pretty badass I must say. I still need to get the inner door jam part though...its one of those hard as hell to get places haha. Ill post up pics when its done though....Ive only done the inside thus far..

sounds cool man. The inside it won't make as much of a difference, but when you do the outside alot yourself a FULL day of daylight to do it right. Resprays and shit on the outside will be noticible since you can see such a large area of painted metal. Def post pics when you're done. What color?

Its an s13. The top will be super black(i think that is what it is..Its off a 350z) and the bottom and inside is championship white. I am highly considering taking it to a booth when I paint the outside....Ill primer it at my house then take it there... My digi cam is a peice so i dont know when ill have pics....
