Basically, improper prep or spraying techniques on the painters part. I'm not sure I'd take it back unless they resprayed the whole thing for free.

sides and rears came out perfect. Front was perfect as well. They have over 25 years experience seems odd they slip up this time. I hope i dont have to repaint the bumper takes forever.

any quick fixes?
