aye sounds about right, orange peel is caused by the fact the paints going on to thick, micro blister is when theres not enough paint and too much air.

Looks alright, when you cut it back it should get a nice shine on it.

The shine is of course deeper the more coats you put on and how much care with prepping etc you did.
