I'm not a painter but I saw someone use another trick like that.
Throughout the sanding process, he would squeegee the surface. When the
surface was uniformly dull with no shiny areas, it meant that surface was
smooth with no orange peel. Afterwards, he machine buffed it. He was
working with arcylic urethane, but the process is probably the same for
enamel. Hope it helps.
