You're going to have to upload those pictures to photobucket or something, can't view those pictures from your desktop. But from what your describing, I get the feeling it's just one of those spots that develop from brake dust or something like that, you could remove those with a claybar.
*edit: nevermind... not what I was thinking of.

I tinker around w/ body & paint work, this isn't bad but surprised to see it on the Fit. Looks like salt damage.
1.) tape off area and sand down to clean metal start w/ 80 and finish w/220
2.) prime w/ a good red oxide primer, Red Rustoleum let dry for 48 hours and wet sand w/ 600
3.) Check Walmart I was there last night and saw a color very close to the dark grey metalic of your car. 5.47, 3-4 light coats and let dry over night b4 closing door esp. if gasket hits the painted area.
4.) and for under $30.00 You have fixed it be happy you just saved $200.00
