Default Earl Scheib paint problems..

Well when i was rear ended, i had the body work done and decided to give the car a whole new color..the paint was really faded when i bought it so it needed some thing. Insurance paid for me to have it sprayed at earl scheib. So, they did an alright job for taking 3 days. Its been about a month and i went to go remove my license plate to give the ride a sleeker look, and what do i find.. but a BIG RECTANGLE OF RED!!
My question to you folks is, what do i do?! They gave me touchup paint in case of whatever. Should i take that to a paint shop and have them spray that and blend it? I gota use that paint cause if they used regular black it wouldnt look the same. (Mine has metallic flakes).
Or do i take it back to the paint shop (2 hours away) to take my chances with them fixing their work?

Nutshell:
-Paintshop didnt paint under license plate bracket.
--What do i do about it?

They did do a pretty good job, i noticed no real over spray at all. If they did antyhing wrong it was NOT painting things, such as under the spoiler, *under the license plate bracket*, and other small things like that. Check out your local shop yourself, check out the people, they will represent how good the shop actually is.
Any other points of info guys?

honestly, guys, earl scheib did a pretty good job considering the turn around time. their body work was very well done, had some holes filled dents/scratches removed.
but you're totally right there are some good and bad cases..id say mine is mostly good, excepting this incident. blah.
i guess ill take it up there when i get this school work out of the way. thanks guys.
