From what I can tell so far they finally did a good job. It was pooring rain all over my head as I looked over the car at the dealer. I'll wait till tomorrow to cast my judgement.
It better be freakin right or I'll bring the guys from SVT back with me from Michigan!!!!

I guess it is a good sign that the paint didn't run off with the rain.  Seriously, congrats and I hope they did it right finally!!!!!

Well, I have looke the car over completely and it might be going back when I get back from Spring Zing. It's hard to tell but the section that had rust, although repaired looks to have some rust still poking thru. Other than that the car does look pretty new, especially for a car with 66,000 miles on it.
They painted the front bumper, front fenders, passanger side front and rear door, A-pillar to C-pillar, rear fenders, rear bumper, roof and trunk.
All and all I'm pretty happy.

There's always the chance that if you take it back it will come back worse.
