Just like any other trade tho they should advise if what you asked for is not going to work, before taking your money.
Should also ask what sort of guarantee you are going to get before committing to this sort of work. Saves a lot of heartache later.

I had it inspected today by another garage, they are going to write a report up for me, What should of happened was for them to give me a call after they started rubbing down, to advise me that to many coats were on the bonnet and they need to take it right back to get a good job done, but they didnt
If i had been advised then i would of payed more, that would of been the professional thing to do from a rep company.

In fairness to the body shop it depends what you've asked them to do,
You say you had a new bonnet painted? So I presume you bought this from subaru in factory primer?
Did you supply them with a used bonnet from a scrapers?
Did they do any filling or was it just a case of can you paint me a bonnet,
If we're were brought in a bonnet, and asked to paint it then it would be inspected for repairs or sub standard work, it wouldn't be taken down to bare metal if that's what you'd be expecting. It would be taken down and high build primered.
All depends whatbyounasked to be done.

I'm just stating there are a few ways if doing said job.
The amount of ****e second hand parts we get given and expected to make look like new is unreal.
For instance to op supplied a bonnet that looked mint, and only needed to be flatted down Bd painted front and back as it had very few marks or stonechips
A
Bonnet in a1 condition would not be taken back to metal or need to go in to primer.
How I'd the body shop have done the filling then they take full responsibility.
