Default Question of how much I should expect of my autobody shop

Well I crashed the integra a month ago and they are just finishing up repainting the whole car (color change) and putting another jdm front on. I paid a total of about 5000 for the paint job and other labor. How much should I ask of my autobody place?

They have not completely buffed it yet and there is noticeable orange peel on the whole car. Hopefully it can be buffed out or sanded.

In the jambs of the hatch area it looks like someone removed the masking tape too early and it touched some wet paint, resulting in some ugly marks in the jambs.

They apparently also messed up the edge of the door where it meets the fender, paint roughed up/ scruffy on the edge.

And on numerous other body panels there are little bubbles or fisheyes in the paint. There are also other places like on the bumper where it looks like something rubbed up against the wet paint.

What I am asking is should I send the car back for a respray? Or is it just going to be a hassle for the both of us?

For 5000 I would expect perfect work, but sometimes my expectations are too high. LMK what you guys think about it. I'll have pics tonight.
