Have you considered trying to get as much of your money back as possible and going elsewhere? I think the poor prep speaks volumes about their level of workmanship, and to have been charged so much it just cant be justified. Having seen this in person and being pointed out the flaws I would also say the body wants completely stripping and re-painting.
Maybe ask to see some customers cars so you can decide if its a one off, or if his work is consistently sub-standard.
It really is an awesome build though, a real credit to you Craig.
blistering looks like a humidity problem or water in airline problem pal. some of the other parts are orange peel which can be sorted with a good flat and polish. some is **** prep which has left scratches under the paint which u will never get rid of. with a colour like that I would want them to strip it back. seal the shell. hi build prime the whole shell and flat it back to eliminate scratches then paint it again!!
Thanks for all the information guys I appreciate the help. I now have a better understanding of the flaws. The paint shop are telling me its down to the paint manufactures which doesn't really make much sense.
as it stands I've been taken to the cleaners with this paint job and by the sounds of it unless its taken right back to bare metal it's never going to be right.
The company are a relatively big place and come with high recommendations. I've seen some of there work on other cars and I was impressed with what I saw. The original job was supposed to take 3 weeks and ended up taking 3 months. The first time the car was delivered it was a wreck so was painted again. I'm just praying that it will be 3rd time lucky.
I doubt I will get any money back so taking it to someone else is out of the question as I simply don't have the money. It cleared me out paying for it in the first place.

As said, either way its not your problem, the paint work is not right so they need to fix it.
Dodgy paint creating prep marks is a new one on me
whats their problem,the paint not as thick as the bullsh1t they talk to cover the prepwork? which looks like theyve used a breezeblock in places.
The blisters in the paint you could accept as a bad reaction but that prep is just downright shoddy workmanship.
Id be seething.absolutely furious.
Going back over there thismorning to have another chat, at least now i have the info I need.
In my experience usually down to bad prep. The curing process not done right I think.
