I did have some success with lightly sanding the surface between coats with some 800 gritt sand paper before the clear coat but its still not as good as I would like it so might have to try it again.

It sounds like you might be holding the can too far fom the rim while spraying.
It's about finding that fine line where you're not too far to produce orange peel/rough texture and not too close where it starts to run.
