Wet sand or clear-coat

So I'm spraypainting an old frame for my girlfriend. I sanded it down to bare metal, used a primer and then started spraying Rustoleum High Performance Enamel. Its coming out with a bit of an orange peel look. I know that wet sanding would help. Wet sanding is, however, a messy and tiresome process. I was wondering if I could just cheat and clearcoat the paint. Do you think it would smooth out the finish, or would it still look rough?
