Default What would you guys do. Bad undercoating job from dealer

So i purchased a 2012 JKU Rubicon. With it i opted for the undercoating and it is looking like they did a bad job. Over-spray in all over. The Rubi shocks, trans, engine, inside of wheels, brake calipers, and the Grill.

Sent an email to my salesman. I was just looking for some opinions for what i should be asking out if this.

Thanks

Wow that's horrible. I'd demand new parts. Looks like Ray Charles could have done a better job

The underside stuff I wouldn't be too upset with but the painted stuff I'd be pissed at and want removed. They can get the overspray off , I'd make them. And from now on crawl underneath and spray your own undercoating, it's cheaper and you'll get to inspect your Jeep once or twice a year. I do it in the Fall and then again in the Spring. WAY cheaper this way and you will take the time not to spray it everywhere.
