that looks like the dreaded "Orange Peel". Its usually caused by paint drying too quickly or even when its spread on too thickly. I´ve only ever seen it on fresh paint jobs that have been botched and know its more common with new water based paints. First time I´ve seen it appear on a 7 year old paint job. The cure on a overly thick paint job was patience and wet sanding. My guess that at 7 years some sort of chemical process is going on between the paint and the surface of the metal which could mean the surface wasn´t preped properly before painting
