Bad painting

Some of you might still remember that I had a hit and run last August. The car got repaired and repainted and it looked good. Today when I was cleaning my car I noticed 2 spots on my car that doesn't seem to have a clear coat and doesn't look as shiny as the rest. It's strange that I didn't notice this a lot earlier:confused: . What can I do?

Go to the people who fixed your car with a bat and convince them to do redo it...I had the same problem, didn't use a bat, and they just said no...so my fender still looks like shit...

How big are the spots?
You could try masking off the rest of the panel and giving the 'spot' a coat of clear, or you could use a polish to see if it shines up the dull area?

They are pretty big, but still I find it strange I noticed it yesterday while the paint is on for a few months...
I'm going to talk to the guy who painted my car at the end of the week to see if he can do something (or is willing to fix his fault)

If you can see that it is a real 'painting defect' you can complain, otherwise it would be hard to complain i think.
I got myseld some minor spots that are less shiny also, but I think this is caused by bird-shit GGGRRRR.
I cant give you better advice than this 'advice'.
