Don't know what to say man, but if the car was fine prior to the paint shop stint, best to hit them up for any possible damages that could have occurred due to them/negligence on thier part.

Replace the starter, sounds like the pinion hung up in the engaged position.
Let's just pretend I didn't grow up, or you're going to be terribly disappointed.
