Called industrial fallout - the spot has to be ground down and repainted from scratch. IT WILL GET WORSE; get it fixed asap.
I just had mine done; cost me $1500 for the bumper; both doors, both rear quarter panels and the roof fallout to get fixed.

Unless the car is less than a year old; your screwed.
Most industrial fallout takes about a year or less to materialize.
What happens is hot metal burns through the paint taking a bit of moisture with it.... then the moisture causes the metal piece to rust and spiderweb the paint.... nothing the dealer can do about it - or anyone for that matter.
Picture someone grinding metal around your car and a small red hot shaving gets on it....

maybe i am thinking of something different but I have a rust spot on my roof also. Very small. Looks like maybe a rock hit the roof because the paint seems textured around the small rust dot. (Almost wrinkled) I just dapped some touch up paint on it to prevent moisture or what not from making it worse... seems fine still and this was weeks ago. Is it anything like that?
