Check paint job

As you might have guessed from my "Removing front fender" thread, my front left fender as been damaged. The dealer is replacing it.


My car is color code D4S (black metal) and is one year old. I've been to see the paint job, and in dim conditions (in the dealer's garage) I find the metal shines more abundant (more concentrated, more visible) on the new fender than on the rest of the body. In the sunshine it looks fine (homogeneous).


Also, around the fastening bolds (of the fender onto the frame, 3 bolts from memory), the paint is chipped, as thought the socket had "chipped" the pain off.


Overall, what should my acceptance criteria be for this paint job? What should I look for?


Thanks for input... this is urgent as I'll probably go back tomorrow to accept the car or not.
