Got 2k2 back from shop - inclusions in paint

Hey all,

Finally got my car back yesterday. They seem to have done a really good job in terms of colour matching, but I do have one complaint.

There are small inclusions in all the panels they painted. Sometimes its only one or two, but the hood has 5 or 6. Its a very small bump in the paint, as if something got onto the panel and then got painted over.

Is this to be expected when a car is repainted or should I go back to the bodyshop today and complain?

when i had the front end of my bmw repainted because of rock chips There were 2 dead spots in the paint. The clear coat had been abosrbed into the paint and it looked like two big fish eyes. I brought it back to them and they buffed out the issue.

I just got back from dropping the car off so they can fix this. Turns out they neglected to do several things on the quote as well...
