Dude the shop's job when they accept your business is to get it right... you shouldn't have had to pay for it until it was 100% correct.

Blending the Mag Red II into carbon fiber hood and the Caravaggio kit just didn't meet my stringent standards. To the average person it looked good, but all you guys looking at it under the sun at every angle could see where the paint and lack of orange peel was different.
