My 9-month old Nismo has the chicken pox…

The front bumper is freckled with chips, even though there are no chips on the hood, lights, or fenders. At first, I thought these were highway stone or salt chips (11k miles, 80% highway). However, the freckles have piled on even though the roads I've traveled have been mostly clean. Neither my winter truck or my wife's car have had similar damage. I'm starting to wonder if this is shoddy paintwork from factory on the front bumper.

Anyone had a similar issue/resolution story? It would be great to have the dealer fix this if it's a common problem. Otherwise, I'd have to have it painted myself.

Thx, Rey.
