Question PAINT CHIPS

While waxing the truck this last weekend I found on top of the rear quarters what looks like rock chips. When looking further I found raised up paint spots in other spots. I think what happened is a couple of these broke open. They are very small and nobody else would probably notice but you know how us lightning owners are we see every little defect. I was wondering if anybody else found any of these when cleaning?

There were two similar marks on my rear quarter panel when I got the truck from the dealer. I assumed it was shipping damage. They repainted the panel at no cost to me.

I've got a spot on my roof that lookslike dirt got in the paint. Never said anything though, figured nobody is going to be looking up there.

Have a spot on right front fender. My father worked for ford for 40 years said when they have a problem they find after the truck is finished they have a powder paint they use to touch up bad spots then put a special light that melt the powder on it matches paint perfect but sometimes leaves flaws. Looks like i have a touched up right front fender. Oh well still love the truck.
