Default Worst paint job ever!

So about a month ago when I picked my car up from the dealer after having some work done they told me there was a problem. The problem was they put a scratch and dent into the rear driver's side door. Before I could say anything the service guy promised me that they would take care of it and I would never know. Yeah right. So after they filled the dent and repainted the door I took one look at it and knew they did a bad job, but the guy told me to give it a week and the paint would "blend" and I would never know. Well here it is now:

Good huh? Bubbles in the paint are normal. Also I am noticing after it rains, milky water spots appear where drops of water were sitting. Normal right? So if anyone has any thoughts about what was done wrong I would be interested to hear what you have to say. Also if you have any advice about how I should tell them to re-paint my door I am all ears.

Thanks

Default This is what happened

what happened is basically they did a garage quality paint job. To adhere correctly the air that is used in the gun needs to be filtered extensively. Other wise you get air that is moist and you get bubble under your paint, and usually you put the car in a baking room...It looks like they just hooked a gun up to a compressor, painted, and let it dry. It needs to be sanded down again and resprayed. Good luck with it
