Just a thought - before you repainted, did you wipe it down with thinner, mineral spirits or anything? Maybe some mold release or other substance was left on at the factory before it was originally painted. (obviously any flammable substance should not be used while this is hot or indoors, etc.)

Sounds like the surface is contaminated. You need to clean it thoroughly before painting. Check with your dealer and see of they will replace the door, if not, ask if they will repaint. If not, post again and I will try and give you a down and dirty to redo.
