It depends on how bad the paint apps are. If it's a little overspray on one very small spot that you have to look closely to see, then that's OCD. Also, it really doesn't help if you keep looking for flaws and nitpick the figure. It's only going to crank up your OCD to unbearable levels and you'll probably go and buy another one.

On the other hand, if they really are bad, then it could be QC. For example, let's say a beard is painted only on one side of the head or it's just flat out missing the app when the figure should have it, then that's QC. That kind of thing I can understand getting worked up about.

I will refrain from casting a vote until I see pics of the paint issues in question, assuming you want to post pics.
