Was that sprayed from a can? A little bit too much of the "orange peel" look for me.

Can you get it smoother by applying lighter (and more) coats?

It looks like pure orange peel when wet. It will smooth out a lot once dried. Still will have some texture though, which can be a good look depending what you spray. I will be doing all the exterior emblems in the coming days and post once they are done.
