another thing to consider when painting, wet sanding...the car will look better all smoothed out the n seeing runs in the paint. Also, Im sure you already knew this but sand the bondo and all that even with everything otherwise it just wont look right. I used to wrok at a body shop and would have to primer, base coat, paint, wet sand, and then paint again...but they came out beautiful. Look into it

it gets rid of all the orange peel (no paint is perfect, when you look at it, it looks like an ornage peel...and the burs) 600 grit-1500 grit sandpaper....put the sandpaper in a bucket of water, you sand it like that in between coats. Dont wet sand it too much otherwise you will take the finish off, just be careful, doing this will blend the paint together and make it uniform, and really, really glossy!!!! This is what we did when we would showroom paint cars, Im talking glossy glossy!! Also, make sure after you base coat the car, in order to get a nice finish clear coat it, after you clear it, you can wet sand with like 1000 grit sandpaper but be careful cause you can sand through the clear coat, then you gotta do it again. Just when you're sanding be careful and do everything evenly, and uniform.
