Default Spraying fibre glass

I've just had my spoiler sprayed and it seems to have some small indentations on the edge.

I was told its where the fibreglass joins and is a common fault after spraying.

They have agreed to have another go but is this common on this material?

it may be that there are air pockets in the spoiler. when its baked in the booth they expand and push out in a 'nipple' sort of thing. when they shrink they can sometimes sink back down.
how much was the spoiler cuz some cheaper ones have more air pockets,
don't except it unless its bob on, they don't when i spray em.

Some paints/thinners will bring out small air bubbles in the fibreglass when the spraid on the surface. This happens most with Cellilose paints. get them to fill and then respray. Also its best if they use 2pack paints.
