Paint on Entrance gates run , help required

[seaspray99]

Hi I primed two entrance gates and used Dulux Once which is an undercoat and top coat combined paint, I appreciate its rubbish, I was in a rush to try and finish the gates, anyway the paint was put on thick and its run and gone streaky and has the Orange peel effect, its a bad job, its been on 4 days and is still soft, I have included some pictures.

The question is what is the quickest way to remedy the situation ?

Many thanks for your time !

Well Seaspray99, unfortunately do not have enough information to give a qualified suggestion what to do as a remedy. But since it is still soft, not letting it harden any longer, I would power wash it off with a Red Tip jet spray. Can help this out by putting some paint remover paste on it first.
Need to know what type of surface your painting, wood or metal. What type of primer used first, and what type of paint was used as a finish coat. Tks!

Dulux once is just a name to come people in my opinion, Get a proper undercoat and gloss. But would leave it a few days sand it down and recoat properly. Thanks!
