Bumpy paint

I tried to be dust free but I was unsuccessful.
What grade of sandpaper should I use to smooth the surface?

Wet sand very carefully with 800 grit. This will knock down most of the high spots. If it's on good and thick proceed to 1500 grit and finish it off with 2000 grit and some polishing compound. You may need to pick up a sandpaper backing block to make it nice and flat but allow you to move around some of the curved edges.

It's pretty normal for spray paint. Here's a very good tutorial for getting a flat, mirror finish: http://case-mods.linear1.org/case-mod-101-how-to-paint-your-computer-case-part-1/

Also, what color is that? It looks like what I am using (AC Orange) for an old case: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v303/Sintek/ORANGE.jpg

Hm, that picture makes it look much brighter than it is. Looking at it it's as dark as the one in your picture.
