Default Bad Paint job???

I just got just my car back from the body shop today. Over the weekend someone clipped by rear pass side. It needed very little work, 2 small dings and a small paint job. Anyways, Everything looks really good, until I get about 2 inched away from the body. I'm not sure if its the light, new paint or what, but I think I can lightly see the primer through the paint. You can't tell from a few feet away. Am I being to critical or should I have them redo it. I'll try to post pics as soon as I can. Hopefully they show what I'm talking about.

If you can see, or even if you think you can see primer- that is a $hitty job. I would have them redo it, without a doubt. That sucks man.

Oh, forgot. To top it all off, the side molding is about 1/4 ich lower than were it should be. B/c this was an insurance claim. How far will I get with the bodyshop, repainting and fixing the molding.
