they have blasted most of the frame and found/made some holes in it. They’ve seen what’s happening stopped stripping it, thrown some primer and a bit of paint on to stop it rusting so that you/they can see what has happened. I wouldn’t be worried about the quality of their work based on the fact they have painted over x y or z as clearly the job has been aborted. They’ve stopped, arrested any further(?) rust and sent you photographs of the issues.
You'd have thought they would have explained this clearly though.

Was in the process of having the frame resprayed and the paint shop noticed small pin holes throughout the frame and welds which they think is the frame rusting all over from the inside and not worthwhile to repair as would involve essentially replacing all the tubes and relwelding.
I’m going with ‘resprayed’ as the whole strip and paint process. I thought the above was enough, nobody is going to just leave a bare frame to rust and leave themselves open to ‘it’s only like that because you left it open to damp’ etc. well you may on a cheap frame, but not a nice custom one. Surely? or is that just what I’d do as popping a bit of primer and whatever paint is in the gun for the next job is free.

I’ve no idea no idea how the frame ended up in that state, but if I was in the refinishing business and I was at fault and was trying to cover something up I’d have slapped some filler on it and painted it and sent it back to you.
But from what I can see they have blasted most of the frame and found/made some holes in it. They’ve seen what’s happening stopped stripping it, thrown some primer and a bit of paint on to stop it rusting so that you/they can see what has happened. I wouldn’t be worried about the quality of their work based on the fact they have painted over x y or z as clearly the job has been aborted. They’ve stopped, arrested any further(?) rust and sent you photographs of the issues.
Of course they say it’s rust and not them at fault, but they have left it so you can investigate without more rust to muddy the waters. just my 2p on what I’m seeing.
