This is a clear case of quantity over quality. Supervisors needing the numbers and pushing everything through. As noted, trucks seem to be painted at the same time and I would bet upon further investigation probably the same spray booth.
This will do the trick. I've worked as a supervisor in a paint department in an automobile assembly plant. The paint is electrically charged and the body grounded to increase transfer efficiency (how much paint actually gets on the vehicle). The edges of panels sometimes have "fatty edges" due to this. When you get too much paint on a vehicle, the solvents don't flash off prior to the vehicle entering the oven and in turn, bubbles appears as these solvents release in the paint oven. Your vehicle is an extreme case of this issue but can easily be made better through a wet sand and polish.
I to have this same issue same exact spot as well as my gas door looks brown. I called the dealer and sent pics and they stopped responding. I did the survey today and left replies all over about the paint. Other thing I noticed is my tailgate straps do not hold tailgate on drivers side and when I lean on tailgate it creeks noticeably. Id like a resolution soon.

I had a similar issue on my drivers side door sill. Had to be painted. It’s fine now but how the quality control missed the lack of paint on the spot boggles my mind. It’s all good now.
