Default NFURY8 panel shop NIGHTMARE

WHAT HAPPENED
I crashed Miss NFURY8 into a ditch.
No major panel damage, just scrapes and scratches, pulled ute out with a 4wd passer-by and nursed her home(drove)
Called insurance company... explained.

AND THEN
Ute picked up, all sorted off to assessment, assessed by THIS panel shop (not my prefered panel shop) assured all will be ok.

6 WEEKS LATER
Ute ready including extra repairs ordered by myself to be an almost complete respray (only roof and hard lid not sprayed)
Excited looked shiny and new, paid the excess and other CASH, drive away KING of the world.

AND THEN
Got home parked it ready to show the missus Miss NFURY8, sun out now and then... WTF is that on the front quarter panel Blotches, looked closer scratches, swirls oh SH11T.

I have a full list of alleged repairs from the panel shop the insurers are keen to see upon re-assessment day.(Apparently they normally just pay the bill sent to them)
Insurance company has been brilliant in every way so far and seem more than happy to rectify the situation.
