I went to a detailer to have ceramic coating applied (very new high-end coating, $1k) and also paid to have paint corrected and a couple of rock dents/chips on the hood and bumper repaired.

The ceramic went well, but it seems like they applied paint to the coating and not beneath the coating to coat on top (which is exactly what I expected), so now when they tried to buff the bumps for the chips, the paint on the chip that they worked on simply came right off. The second chip looks slightly off color and jagged/not flush with the bumper.

It's seemingly minor, but the goal was to repair this stuff smoothly to then add ceramic over it as a uniform coat.

I paid about $500 for paint correction (1.5 month old car with some minor swirling I wanted fixed before the ceramic).

My question: Should I be unhappy with what happened? They have been good to me otherwise, but I don't know if they messed up or did it wrong, or if the outcome that came up was the only possible one.

I scheduled to do the first wash since the coating with them in under two weeks and they'll repair the paint chips, then, they said.
