Possible hood repaint?

Possible hood repaint?
I just now noticed that along the edge of my hood and the adjacent location on the fender that my paint is stripped. I'm not sure how this happened, but I'm curious if this is one of the notorious paint issues.

thats not from contamination, but from rubbing... if the cars been bent they wont cover it, but otherwise, I'd bet the rubbers arent adjusted correctly and hood shake at speed was causing contact.
with hood shut, hows the gap to fender from driver to passenger side? guessing its tight on drivers side- else hood shake would have to be pretty violent...

re looking at pics- yout strut tower brace looks a mile high- been hit on the left front, or maybe a massive chuckhole hit? in pics it sure looks to me like the drivers strut was stoved inward somehow

I just had my car in for the paint contamination or bubbling on the front hood, they paid for everything rental car included as well. To be honest I am not sure what they will say about that, the guy that took care of my claim said Ford can be very tough on their warranty claims. But it doesn't hurt to try, best of luck!

It isn't dried wax sadly, however, upon inspection in the daylight I can see a slightly bigger gap on the passenger side leaving the driver side slightly tighter, which, I guess lead to rubbing leading to this. The question now is, can I put this on ford? I've literally never messed with anything hood related on my car, or even anything under the hood. Literally it is how it is from the factory.

perhaps shipper bound the car down improperly during delivery? Might be a sound issue to pursue- saw they were busting control arms on f150s a few years ago... not all the guys tying these things down are careful. was that tower brace factory- and has it rubbed the hood insulation in the center? sure looks bowed upwards... good luck
