Default Forge Bow Bad Experience! /Question?

I had my string break while my bow was in the case so I took my bow to my local Forge dealer to have a new cable and string put on my bow I also asked him to install a new pad under my grip and new screws for the grip and I asked him to find out from the company about why the string was coming in contact with the bottom part of the limb where it Vs before the cam.So my husband went and picked up my bow for me and when I got the bow out of the case I couldnt believe what I was seeing. My bow had 6 new dings on the riser and the limb pockets it so deep thet they are down into the shiny aluminum with metal burrs on them.I thought the string would be okay so I took it out back to the shop and shot it 4 times through paper brought it back inside the house and the serving was already sererating after only four shots. But here is the icing on the cake. The dealer said that the company told him to solve the string contact problem to just grind down my limb where the string was touching and then Just spray paint it. So that was exactly what my dealer did to my bow without asking me if he could do this to my bow.I kept thinking this limb is going to break in the back of my mind every one of the 4 times i shot it Im now scared to shot it I feel that the integrty of my bow limb my have been compromised and I am no longer comfortable shooting my bow and i used to really love this bow it shot wonderful for me. Now i am not a bow tech im just your everyday archer but I would like to know from any pro bow techs has my limb integrity been compromised? Im relly upset and I am waiting until i cool down to contact my dealer and discuss this with him calmly rationatly. Any info would be greatly apreciated.
