You could sand it down,...re paint and blend it back in.... not the easiest thing to do but its worth a shot

Looks like rust could be the problem, unless that was after the fact. But yea, if its a bad paint job... There is no fix. They didnt prep it properly, which means they probably didnt prep the whole car either.

I believe this is its original paint, since the is so old and living in Utah with its extreme weather ain't helping too....

It's definitely rust and I could see it, now am more and more concerned to take it thru car wash! :-(

Use some rust remover (or a high grade wet sand paper) then buy some matching touch up from Lexus. At least that will stop the rust from accumulating any more than it already has. Its still all only on the surface.
