Body shop messed up my paint
Recently I went to a body shop to have my rear bumper repaired and repainted, and when I went to pick it up I didn't notice these two things. First thing is there is a pretty significant gap between the headlight and the bumper that was not there before. The damage was on the right side so why there would be a gap on the left does not make sense to me. The second issue that I didn't notice till I was about to wash it, is that there are rough spots everywhere on the whole car like on my hood. When I left the car at the shop the paint was immaculate, I wash and wax at least twice a month, I know that it was perfect when I left it, but now there are those spots. I tried using a clay bar and using rubbing and polishing compound, but no matter what I do the spots don't come out. I know I should have inspected the car much more carefully than I did before I paid them so that's my fault, but my question is, should I bring it back and tell them to fix it or should I just leave it alone?

Okay makes a little more sense then but yes I would make them fix the spots on the paint but they might refuse unless you have 100% proof it wasn't like that before. I can tell you my dad was a body guy for 30 years and I know what those spots are I can tell just by looking at it its lacquer from a spray bottle or acetone for cleaning panels before paint they put it in a spray bottle and it looks like they got over spray on your car
