Congratulations looks real nice.
When you do your color sanding use a little Dawn in the water allowing the paper to soak for 15 to 20 minutes. Try starting with 1000 grit, but depending on you degree of orange peel you may want to use 800. USE a sanding block and be very careful at the curved areas as it is easy to blow through the clear coat. After the 1000 go to 2000 then 3000.
Most people stop at 2000 but using 3000 makes for a very easy buffing job. I then buff it out using 3M Stuff.
I would usually shot 3 to 4 coats of clear. If you only did 2, you may want to consider a light sanding with 1000 and then shooting 2 more coat. Just be careful on the curves and take your time.
Good Luck
