Guess what happened to my paintjob, a good mistake, sort of Options

So as some of you know, my car is getting painted right now. I dropped it off 3 weeks ago to have it repaired and painted and when i went to get it yesterday, I noticed some minor flaws. There were small spots where the paint got rubbed off and some small parts that weren't painted, really small though. The people who did the windshield obviously rubbed off some of the paint around the windshield so I don't blame the shop for that since they get other people to do the windshield.

But the car was dirty so I couldn't see everything. I went back today and wiped some dust off and guess what, I could see the pin striping through the paint. WTF is that, obviously they did a bullsh!t sand job. Then I looked over at the front left fender where the moulding used to be near the wheel, but I took it off before it got painted, and a small piece of leftover glue was painted. Obviously that was barely sanded too. Also, the front lip was scratched from the curb cause some moron there who moved the car can't drive. I thought that was it, but guess what else I saw when I rubbed off some more dust... the car is TWO DIFFERENT COLORS!!! The trunk, doors, fenders, hood, and bumper are all gunmetal. The rest of the car is gunmetal with a hint of green. I talked to the manager and I'm getting the car re-painted. So why is this a good mistake? Because even though I have to wait even longer, most of the car will be getting two coats of paint now instead of one, except for the small parts they messed up on. Btw, I'm getting this done at Maaco, I know, I know, flame on.
