My immediate thought is rust coming through, but a closer look is telling me that it seems to be on top of the paint, not coming through from underneath it. Plus its smooth to touch, not like its corrosion i.e. rust.
Has anyone got any ideas or experience as to what/why this might be?? Is it just a case of shoddy spray work using a substandard paint maybe? Or could it indeed be the first signs of rust developing?
Any input appreciate 🎅👍🏼

To me it looks like the laquer is damaged and dirt and moisture is penetrating under laquer but on top of paint. My suspicion is because of the location. aggressive cleaning and polishing on edges wears through top coat in no time at all (one bad polish could do it!!). gently feel if there is a lip with yr fingernail... if so, its a clean up and blow over with clear coat. not a big deal.
