Hum, Ok.
Factory paint jobs from the eighties and nineties had issues with long term adhesion. There was an extended period of time that we were stripping complete vehicles and repainting them. LOTS AND LOTS of fords, ford paid for the warranty work and I made good money doing it, but I got sick of doing completes. Chevy had a mondo problem as well during this period.
The white layer on your fender is similar to the issue we used to have. It's not feathering out. It'll lift real easy there when you primer it. Spray a couple "dry" coats at first to help create a barrier from the solvents in your primer.
I've got to admit, a better picture of the rocker would help me see the issues.
I don't mean to comment when you haven't asked for my opinion btw. I'm not trying to offend.

The reason I think the fender was replaced is that appears to be the original white color underneath it all.I'm soliciting your opinion, product recommendations and any other comments... better pictures to follow... If my memory serves me correctly, Ford was experimenting with an E-coat primerless paint in the late 80's. The paint would just flake off the hood on all of their trucks. This clearly has a grey primer underneath, because they painted the car with primer, and then installed the spoiler and small plastic pieces at front lower fender, then shot the color. I was surprised to see no color under the spoiler and these plastic pieces... If you look at the picture where I took off the 5.0 badges... even after using the 3M adhesive eraser, this had to be sanded with 500 wet to get the rock hard tape remains off the surface... You can clearly see what I call the 3 layers of the paint... The primer, the white looking paint under the blue then the blue. What do you think the White is? some sort of sealer before the blue, or is this just the result of the blue being completely oxidized and void of color? But there is no white over the gray primer that was under the spoiler....

I'm not saying it's not factory either. The factory might have damaged the original fender during assembly and had another brought up the line during the refinish process.
I've seen vehicles back then fresh from the factory with up to NINE paint jobs on it. I'm not exaggerating. I had to strip that particular '91 F150.
The various manufacturers back then would send a vehicle back through for repainting when enough serious flaws were found.
It would be sent over to their body area for repair and sent back through the refinish line.
