I've seen lots of vehicles in parking lots and on the road over the years with paint that appears to be bad factory paint (pretty obvious when you see the same make or make/model and year range over and over again with the same problems.

It seems that 99% of the time, the top surfaces are the most affected, maybe also front and back. The sides of the car are rarely impacted. I can only assume/guess that it's due to those surfaces more directly facing the sun and/or has rain/water/dirt sit on it more.

So, if I had a great car that I wanted to keep forever with this issue, then I'd want a full repaint, but if this was an appliance, I'd probably be ok with the car being painted in spots.

I'm kind of surprised that the OP didn't see issues on the hood too.
