I think it was the rubbing down between coats.

Yes, I could have done a bit of research and done it myself. It couldn't have been worse, and even if it was it wouldn't have cost anywhere near as much!
They are sooo ham fisted. I mean, surely anyone could have seen the potential to remove those transfers by rubbing down?

Anyway, too late now and my sympathies are with you. I have suffered many times at the hands of 'experts' and 'specialists' doing work for me. I mostly do all my own work now be it spraying, woodwork renovations, electronics (obviously), in fact anything that requires a bit of brain power to put it bluntly. Otherwise I have a list of 'recommended by friends' service providers for general household stuff mostly who I have been using for years. And I never just refer to ads or lists to find a service provider. I just made the acquaintance of a 'new' car mechanic last week, after my last one who had stood for forty years retired in April.
