Orange peel can have a number of causes. Ambient temperature - colder temps encourage the formation of orange peel. Spray in a warm room 75F or so
Thick Paint - either the paint itself is too thick or you are spraying too heavy a coat. Thin your paint, about like the viscosity of milk.
Spray a thin, light coat. Allow to dry. Pant another thin, light coat. Allow to dry. Repeat as many times as necessary.
The only other suggestion I can make is to use a LACQUER model paint in a rattle can. The hot solvents used in lacquer paints actually react with the plastic a bit almost acting like a glue. Again THIN - LIGHT coats overlapping about 1/3 or so of the previous coat and keep your distance 8 inches at least. Lacquers also cure quickly so the chances of a thick uncured layer are minimal.
Lastly the hot solvents used in lacquers need plenty of ventilation and wear a surgical mask when you spray
