    Hey Guys,

    Thanks for reading and responding.
    I had some rust spots on my truck along both forward facing window wells and on the roof. This was likely due to rock strikes down in Baja. Also had a dent removed.

    Had a local guy do it that came in recommended and felt good about it. Seemed to be ok when I picked up. As the days go on I am noticing pinholes, spots that are not smooth and textured, and what looks like bubbles, etc. Also messed up my window tint

    The owner seems interested in correcting it but damn I hate to be w/o my truck and have them repaint.

    What would you guys do in this case? Full repaint, ask for refund, etc?

    thanks

    The pinholes are POST body work and new paint. I live at the beach and they didn't exist before.
