So the paint issue started some time after the warranty period expired. At first it was just bubbles appearing and I wasn't concerned. I took it into a ford dealer and they said it would need to be repainted which of course i would have to pay for since it wasn't under warranty. I didn't want to do that so i waited. I was then rear ended by a semi which only resulted in very very minor damage to the plastic bumper. (thankfully he was only going 5mph) The damage i had repaired and at the time i asked them if they could fix the paint on the door, they were able to repaint the entire door and it seemed to be fixed. Fast forward to about 5 years ago, 2010 and I noticed the paint bubbling again. It has gotten progressively worse since and now it peeled off in several areas. I took it to a body shop, they said oh yeah ford is aware of this problem. It has to do with the metal they used and the bonding process. Its going to cost you $3000 for a new door. I was told they couldn't fix it because its a problem with the metal. (Frankly i think that's a load of crap) in any event this is an issue with many many fords and ford refuses to address or fix it.
