Bad experience with lip paint job

Makes sense. I guess I shouldn't be that anal. It's the best that guy could do and yes he wasn't up to speed.

Hey, you're new to the area. You did the best you could to get it done right. No harm, just a little speedbump.
I'd just remove it again, clean up these imperfections myself. (think of the paint on there now as a really good sealer) prep it completely myself, and find the right guy. All good.
I also noticed in the pic of the lip on the paint stand that it was lying on it's back.
I always understood that parts that sit on the car vertically (like doors) should be painted oriented that way, and parts that lay flat (parallel to the ground....like a hood) be painted lying flat. The lip should be 'standing' up as though it was on the car when getting paint applied.

Looking forward to seeing the final results.

You're right I guess about the pearl color being direction dependent. Proper protocol should be followed while painted the body part depending on what part it is. Also, despite all the deligence, chances are the color match won't be perfect...more so in certain lighting conditions.

The way I understand it is ANY paint, not just pearl, although I wouldn't be surprised to hear it's more important with pearl than others.
