Question about wet sanding after painting

I had a painted roof spoiler installed, but after my vinyl roof:

First mod of Spring! Half size roof spoiler on!

I wanted it to be black again. Instead of buying a new un-painted one, I found a can of gloss black paint can in the garage.

So tonight I sprayed on 3 layers, and already noticed orange peel due to humidity. Do I now continue with clearcoat? Or do I wetsand the orange peel off first, then clear?

Thanks!

I would say that it all depends on how peely it is and what kind of products you are using, is it all bomb can materials or what?

If it was all reall paint and clear and the peel wasn't too terribly bad on black you can usually get away with not having to wetsand, but I'm assuming that its some kind of spray paint clear coat and from my experiences with those kind of clears is that they don't have the same amount of material build up, so it may still be peely.
