Wow, that bites. Glad to hear they`re gonna take care of it. Rathe than try to offer what meager advice I might come up with, check out the forums at Auto Body and Paint Tips, Techniques, and Information (http://www.autobody101.com/forums/)
The guys there know what they`re talking about when it comes to body work and paint. And wherever it`s done, make sure you ahve a solid warranty on the work.

Ouch -
The semi-good news is, it is covered under warranty.
That fender was not edged properly.
The car looks like a port repaint.
The cloudiness or crust you see in all of the jambs can happen when you use "soft edge" foam beading tape.
The sickening thing is that it is a highline car and repainted panels decrease the resale value tremendously. I dont know how to handle that one.
