Default WANTED: Paint Knowledge

I had my XF in the shop to fix the whole first gear problem. While it was in there they scratched the hood when the car was on the lift. They had it re-painted of course. I notcied that there are a bunch of light scratches all over the hood. It almost looks like swirl marks but somehow different. They seem a little more prominant than the swirl marks from the factory paint. My car is black so swirl marks show up pretty easy anyway. What I want to know is if the light scratches on the hood now are the paint shops version of swirl marks. I assume that different shops have different techniques. I am just wondering what part of the paint process leaves these marks. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
