Default New paint job

Paid 700 to get the hood passenger fender and door repainted. Is it just me or does this look horrible they did not blend the driver's fender! Should I get them to do something about it.

YES!
You should not have left the body shop with the car. Something very important you will learn is that it is easiest in the long run to address them about it immediately; not wait to go on mustang forums, ask others opinions, and then call them back the next day.

I did not notice this untill I took it home the second time. I actually took it back because spots apeared he said they were from a chemical reaction and can be buffed out next week (wants to wait to see if more will appear). I will bring up the issue then. How much will this cost or should I say they need to eat the cost but i guess i should have requested it been done.

If it is a reputable paint shop, they will bite the bullet and pay for it. You came there to get your hood and door painted....the SAME color, not to get it painted a different color. Hopefully they recognize this and fix their mistake.
I have a ram1500 that had fenders repainted TWICE to get the color right. Why?? Because they were a reputable shop that did a poor paint job that had their name on it.

They have an A rating with the BBB and that is where everyone in the area goes so hopefully it will not be a problem. Im just going to call them tomorrow.
