Default Factory Paint guys, need info

Looks like my truck is done today at the bodyshop.
I had some chips in the inner door A-Pillar and B-pillar compliments of my local stereo shop, long story.
Anyway, they call to tell me it's done and are already telling me its not perfect but I should be happy with it.

They prepped and sprayed with the doors on, vice taking them off, due to the possibility of it causing more problems.

now, my question is, where exactly should I draw the line between it being acceptable or not?

They tell me because of the location they can't buff the way they would like, but it would be within factory specs.

advice?

As long as it's within factory specs I'd accept it....I used to do body and paint work, the A and B-pillars are the worst areas to try to buff out (not to mention hard to paint in the first place)....a slight orange-peel is acceptable, major flaws or mis-matched paint are NOT

BTW...why not just use "moregrip" at work as well??

cause I'm a dumbshit, forgot my password.

Thanks for info, that's exactly what I needed, he did say that it was within the factory spec and wouldn't cause a decline of warranty.

Yeah if it was in the door jambs and areas like that as long as it's close I'd be happy. Now if they told you that after spraying a hood or something...
