new truck questions

I just bought a new 2004 Dodge Dakota Quad Cab 4X4 with 300 delivery miles on it, while we were picking it up at the dealer, my wife noticed that paint was comming off in the wheel well (blue paint same as the body color). Is that normal? This is the first 4X4 I've owned and never really paid much attention to other trucks (since you can see the wheel well better on 4X's. Should I get it undercoated and or rust proofed? I know new trucks have better galvanized steel. Do nerf bars help protect the doors? How about mud flaps and a hood shield? Thanks for any input?

Usually the paint in the wheel well is black, from my experience. It's not normal for the paint to be coming off. My guess is that truck was in a accident and that area has been repaired.
