Paint bubbling on driver's door

Grrrrrr said:

As per the title really. My driver's door paint has started to bubble in the centre and drop off. Is this a sign of some electrolytic oxidation? Something steel pressing behind, maybe?

Anything to worry about or best just to clean it up and add some touch-up paint or something?

Picture below.

It's very common with alloy panels. any moisture getting under the paint, pinhole in the paint or a stonechip left un-attended results in the reaction with the paint starting to lift. It's not urgent and wont corrode like steel but does look unsightly i grant you.

if it's small enough there's a few paint guys kicking around now that do localised paint repairs rather than do a whole panel (what they refer to as smart repairs), and they visit you. here's a tyipcal one in your neck of the woods..
