What to ask when picking up vehicle that has been painted?

Question

I have just had my vehicle painted at Maaco. It is done and I will be picking it up in a couple of hours. What should I look for? Besides the obvious overspray. What questions do I need to ask when picking up the vehicle?

Update:

Thanks to those who gave me serious things to look for. I am off to pick it up. I will select a best answer.

Look very closely for any inconsistencies...Small bubbles are a HUGE problem when picking up a newly painting a car. Take the car out into the natural light and inspect it for color consistency. You want an even shade all over.

Ask if there is a protective clear coating. This is standard most days, but it never hurts to ask. If you see any issues with the paint. Ask them to re-do the job.
