Orange peel in paint or clear coat

S

Stros

Is there a way to tell if the orange peel is in the paint or clear coat? I sprayed 3 coats of SPI Med Red base and thought it was pretty flat. Then I sprayed 4 coats of 2100 clear on Sunday and some panels have more peel than others. If it was from the first coat of clear am I going to have trouble cleaning it up? Is there any way to tell? The clear feels smooth but if I built the coats over it would it have filled the peel? Should I try to wet sand with 2000 grit to see how it does then buff? This was the first time I have based and cleared.
 
Its in first coat of clear and gets magnified with each coat.
Just wet-sand the clear flat (soft pad and till no gloss) with 1000, or 1200 or 1500 and buff)
