Chose a Sherwin-Williams paint system over PPG for a Toyota Camry job last month - mixed feelings now

The shop I work at usually uses PPG, but I decided to try Sherwin-Williams on this silver 2019 Camry because the rep gave me a deal on a gallon. It sprayed nice and covered well, but two weeks later I noticed the clear coat had a little orange peel I didn't see before. Customer didn't complain, but it bugged me. Has anyone else switched brands on a job and regretted it or been happy about it?

Yeah, that flash time thing gets me sometimes too. I laid down some S-W clear on a Honda Civic once and rushed the second coat, ended up with a haze that looked like a ghost was parked in the bay. I'll probably stick with PPG for metallics now, just feels safer.

Did you give the clear enough flash time between coats?
