Looks unusual. Was the car ever resprayed?

Sometimes painters touch up a damaged spot, and to match in the door/wing/hood/you name it, they "haze in" a wider area of paint very lightly. The idea is to get major panels all the same colour. Trouble is, they don't always "key in" the surface of the larger area, so that the paint does not bond well.

This may have happened yours, and severe weather caused the top coat to die, hence the flaking and peeling back.

Only cure is to repaint, but get it done by someone who knows what he is doing.
