Well after much back and forth over the quality of the paint job (there was a lot of debris in the paint, orange peel, etc..) It turns out they just paint the cars in the back of the bodyshop no paint booth nothing. The manager says we can paint the thing 10 times and it is going to come out the same that piece of debris may not be there on the fender and now over here but this is the best we can do. I was amazed. I don't see how someone can run a shop and not disclose this beforehand. I would have not taken my vehicle to them to be repaired. Anyways I tell you that story so you don't go through anything similar. I have learned it is best to ask questions up front to the tiniest detail than to hope and wish it turns out ok. After my ordeal and a similar one with the Z. I will be taking tours of the establishment working on my cars in the future. If it doesn't check out to my likings...then on to the next one.

Good luck on getting your car back close to 100% as possible.
