Richard.
I'm right there with you. I too am using the same paint process. I have decided that a little orange peel isn't worth the effort to remove it .
You could try to wet sand in-between the rivets, but you will sooner or later sand through to the color and primer. You could also use a 3M pad (color of you choice) and just scuff it up and put on another coat of clear.
I was concerned about some orange peel that I had, then I set the parts out in the sun and couldn't see the orange peel from more than a foot away.
If you are building a show plane and are really concerned, you might just strip it down and start over.
Just my opinion and worth every penny you paid for it.

This is without a doubt the biggest problem with pulled rivets. You can wet sand with 600 but it will take forever to miss all the rivet heads. I feel your pain.......
do not archive

I've been monitoring this site for a long time and
never posted, but I've encountered a problem in
finishing my 601 so I need some help. The primer and
base coats went on fine, but the clear coat has
orange-peel. The question is how do I get ride of the
orange-peel without taking the base coat off the
rivets? (lots of rivets) Any help would be
appreciated.
Thanks in advance, Richard from Wisconsin

Basically you don't, unless you sand it down. You can try and put more
clear coat on. If you get a real "wet" coat, use a "slow dry" thinner, it
will do a lot better. But, it's easy to get runs. If it were me and it
really bothered me, I would sand it down, hit it with another light coat of
base, then follow up with a couple of wet coats of clear.
