How can I eliminate the orange peel when e-coating A60 Galvanneal material?

I'm e-coating parts made of A60 Galvanneal, but the results are not satisfactory. Surface has a lot of orange peel... how can I improve that cosmetic issue?

Orange peel is related to flow of paint. Either solids in tank is very high, contamination in post rinses or baking was improper. In addition check the incoming material quality.
