I took my Camaro to the dealer.

Luckily, my problem isn't rust.
Rather, car doors are bonded with epoxy, something like Liquid Nails,
then painted over. This epoxy on my car is flexible/bendable, maybe it failed to harden entirely.
So the paint tore in little spots.
Passenger door's epoxy is also flexible but its paint is fine (less slamming of that door of course).

I talked with a painter and I decided
to just apply touch-up paint myself rather than sanding down the original paint
(some tearing will keep happening anyway because how it's made).
I'll have to monitor it in case if ever tears out to the very edge of the door,
in that case, maybe professional repainting will be necessary.
That is, right now it's just many pin-holes, it could turn into tears/rips.
