Most body shops will warrenty their work untill your out of sight. I would have had looked everything over before leaving the shop. But i was stopping by everyday to watch mine come along. Id say your kinda screwed.
If you took him to court it would cost more than taking it somewhere else and having it re-done.

You can't have any joe-blow doing paint. Painting is artistry.
I've been wanting to learn... will I be good or bad? Who knows... until I learn I won't know.
But on the lighter side of things, something does look fishy with that hood. But, eh, you should get it fixed right.
When I got into my little fender bender, I blatently told the owner up front that I will sue if there is any damage done to the truck and if the paint and repair work are not done to OEM standards. You betcha he did a good job.
In fact, he did such a good job, that I compared it to another F150 similar to mine color scheme wise, and you could not tell the difference. I even went as far as getting my micro ruler out and measuring the bumper distance from the body, to checking the bolts on the bumper with a torque wrench according to Ford's specs. Everything was exact.

I believe you. I just couldn't tell if it was actually done or just the lighting of the picture that made it look that way. Looks good.
