I think it would look ok. I don’t know if you could absolutely eliminate orange peel. Maybe reduce the final coat so it lays down real wet? Small parts you don’t really notice it but on something like a big flat door I think orange peel might be inevitable. The best plan might include wet sanding to 2000 grit to get it real flat, then going over the panels with 3M Trizact pads to 3000 or 5000 grit to bring back the semi gloss sheen. Just don’t know of any other way to get a whole truck perfect. But that’s just me. I’ve had real good luck with my Eastwood paint gun set but I’m still pretty green with paint. This is the only car I’ve ever painted so I’m sure a body shop veteran might have a different opinion.
