Fiberglass hood problem?

I have been a reader of this forum for over a year and a half, but never felt the real need to join in order to post, until now.

Recently, I had a new fiberglass hood installed on my 2007 Mustang GT. I love how it looks but there is a problem that I have with the edges of the hood. They have some sort of pinholes around the edges. I counted as many as 50 pinholes/marks and there may be more. There are a few on the top of the hood, but they are mostly around the edges.

I want to know if this is to be expected with a fiberglass hood, or is it a lack of prepping done by the painters?

I am really upset with this, and have already gotten in touch with them to have it fixed. What would you do if you were in this situation?

Click on the links for the pictures (I took the pics in VGA mode so they will not be so large to send through email - but I assure you that all the holes look like what is seen in these pictures) :

Boy - that sure looks like poor prep work to me. Hopefully the painter will step up and correct this for you.
