Sorry.  I guess my question should have been...
Is countersinking nails part of standard methodology for an expected
high quality paint job.

And, by the way, the painters left for the weekend.  Leaving the
windows and patio door covered in plastic.  Is that standard operating
procedures, or should they have removed them?  I think if it were just
overnight, I could see them leaving them, but an entire weekend seems
like a long time.
