Curt, I'm curious, what are you using to do the sanding?
IIRC the original 50-dollar-paint-job guy said that on his Corvair the
sander or buffer, I forget which, made a big difference, so he was glad that
he had a good one (which didn't count towards the $50, of course).

Yeah after letting the thing dry my earlier fears were pretty much unfounded.

I did end up with more orange
to the store tomorrow.

Switched to a foam roller today, I'd gotten fabric before but the $50 paint guy
http://www.rickwrench.com/50dollarpaint.html says foam.
The foam roller is easier to get a nice finish out of but I have to be much

Foam is the way to go -- those little rollers give a very good finish on
cabinets and such. You might also look for some stuff called Flo-Trol
that somehow or other makes paint flow easier or lay flatter -- it's
always around the sprayers at Lowes. Not sure what it is but the
