only comment i have is the seals should have been removed prior to painting. window squeegees, targa front seal, turn signal bucket, rear window cap, vent window seal, etc. (i have no idea whether they were or not). seal reinstall should have occured AFTER the final rub out. this would've avoided the staining of the seal items. a gentile scrub with a worn toothbrush and an application of glycerin "might" help resore the finish. remove the rockers and valances, blast them (to "white" metal), REALLY degrease them (i like to kill brain cells with laquer thinner), metal etch primer, and just buy 4 or 5 cans of Krylon Semi-flat Black. cheap and easy. you need to pick up the blasted pieces the DAY they are completed, and get the bare metal covered. i am not an automotive painter nor do i claim to be one, but what i've discribed works well for me.
