take the car to another reputable shop, have them give you an estimate, go back to whoever painted your car and demand your money back, if they refuse to refund you, file a civil lawsuit. this happend to me a few years back on an impala ss i had. the second i mentioned a lawsuit his facial expression, attitude, and even his posture changed. within 30min, i had my money back. good luck man. sick car btw.

Seems like maybe the shop did not mix the paint well before spraying?

i know, i paid already, but it was only when i got home that i noticed little details here and there.
I also have a bit of paint chipping on top of my windhsield now i'm so pissed.. i spent over 4.5k just to make it look nicer, and then i get this.. dammit, was hoping winter would be doing the suspension and brake work and summer the turbo, but i might have to spend more money doing the body again
