Break in.. Part II

I hoped my bad luck really ended with the break-in last week.... well....

A week ago, my car got broken into at the Georgetown parking garage...
Police called... insurance notified.. I drop my car off on Monday to a Allstate recommended (one of their direct shop near my house with good reputation).
they told me it will take 5 days.. ok... got a rental and waited for last 5 days very nervously since the car is only 1 week old out of factory.

On Friday they told me my car was not ready since the car got out of paint booth that morning and paint is too soft to put window trims back in.
They told me monday afternoon. I agreed.
however I informed them that I will return the rental since I was the one paying for it and don't need it during the weekend.
I got there at 4:40 and to my surprise, they told me if I wait for 30 min, the car will be ready. I asked them that you are the one told me the paint is too soft.
they said, they they decided the paint was hard enough to finish the job.
At 5 PM, they told me my car is parked outside.
It's already too dark to inspect the paint.
They told me the paint job came out great also easier than they though.
they stated that even though the paint is called Phantom Blue Pearl, it's 2 coat system not typical 3 coat pearl.

Since they close at 5, I took the car home.

This morning...... I found out what they did to my car....:annoyed:
I simply couldn't believe what I was looking at.

all these seem in between paint and the clear coat. it reacts to any direct light like this.. white curvy images
Also I see finger prints and I don't even know what it is in the front fender (wheel well).
Also over 6" long scratch on the hood.

I was told from the Allstate that someone dealing with their direct shop will call me and also I need to take my car to the shop to talk to them.

I am so mad since there will be more paint spray to my brand new car.
the new paint color seems matching but the pearl particles are much bigger than the factory....
I didn't even had time to enjoy my car much but already not so thrilled about this car... this SUCKS!!
