Is this a 'knock' or a paint fault? (pic)

Washed her by hand today, and noticed beneath right side headlight a good 2 inch long patch of black paint missing. Its literally lifted to undercoat. I think its an odd place for a knock, unless it was a car park brush with a shopping cart whilst I was in the store.

Im also thinking paint fault because as you can see the paint has sheared off like peeling off. tell me what you think. Am i covered by my Suzuki warranty? or do I have to go to a paint specialist to fix it? (the line is the reflection of car park paint on road)

Im not happy I also noticed the wheels starting to tarnish

I would vote something hit your car. It looks like it scratched it behind the chip. But a half vote for bad paint job since it remove so much paint without leaving a dent that I can see.

You could ask a dealership about it but it would probably boil down to if the service manger is in a good mood that day because it's a judgement call. I know it's sexist,but if you're an attractive lady wear something alluring, it might help sway his judgement. Good luck!

Nice....

PS: Don't overuse it or the effect might wear off.

It sucks when your vehicle gets damaged like that. You might be able to get one of those mobile touch up businesses to fix it relatively cheaply? A positive point is as least it's not some metal part of the car which would have dented and then rusted.
