No it's clear coat failure.

Thats either an extreme example of oxidation, or what more than likely would be considered paint/cc failure. Find a good body shop and they should be able to repaint and blend into the pillars.

What killr said. Looks like the clear is separating from the color coats. Time for a respray

oh ok atm i can't afford to get a repaint is there anything i can do to make it look bit better while i save up for a spray job

play the lottery and win yourself a new car! Seriously there's nothing much to do without getting into body work. That is not oxidation, that is no more paint there.

cant really make it any worse so try wetsanding it and buff it out...it will be a good project

Since the paints failing, then you mind as well wet-sand and polish it. It would be good practice.
