Mixing the wrong clearcoat on a '67 Mustang quarter panel

I grabbed the wrong hardener from the shelf and didn't realize it until the finish started to orange peel like crazy. Anyone know a good way to fix this without a full strip and respray?

My uncle's shop in Toledo always said to just sand it out. I used to agree, but a bad batch of clear on my own truck taught me it's never that simple. You really might have to bite the bullet and redo it.

Hate when that happens, it's like grabbing the wrong milk at the grocery store. That little moment of not paying attention costs you way more time later. You can try wet sanding and buffing, but it might need a re-spray.
