They painted the bumper but they didn't even de-nib it? Dust nibs are normal.. hard to prevent them 100% but at my shop we sand them all off... as any shop should do... I'd slam that shop lol.

Nope! Shop owner knows my parents and did me a favor painted the front bumper, mirrors and my S281 for nothing, I gave him $200.. Still a bunch of orange peel on the mirrors, wing is pretty good.. But the bumper just pisses me off because I've tried to fix it twice. Now i know not to go there anymore.. In a couple months I'll go to another bodyshop and have it re sprayed..

paint is one of those things where you get what you pay for. Cheap paint jobs mean they are cutting a corner somewhere and when you cut corners with paint it shows. Sucks that is was a family friend and not a stranger but unless you are a VERY good friend of the paint guy don't expect anything special and generally you will want to bring your own lube with how most work.
