How perfect should custom painted cabs be?

I'm really struggling with this. Our white shaker custom cabinets have been painted multiple times. Not due to our pickiness, but due to multiple shades of what was supposed to be the same shade of white. The good part: They are finally all the same shade.

The bad part: I can see all sorts of imperfections.

I can see scratches from the hardware installation.

I can see pinholes from what I suspect are nail heads.

I can see cracks forming where the different cabinets are joined together.

We have not even signed the last check yet, what is this going to look like in a year?

So my big question is... How perfect are your white painted custom cabs? Am I expecting too much? I do get that they are white and life is going to happen. I was just expecting the scratches and bumps to come from me and not my contractor.

Maybe I'm just suffering remodel fatigue....
