Looks like some kind of chemical reaction from a spill, accidental or deliberate - like a spill of some corrosive agent like acid or strong basic agent like lye - paint remover?. Heat probably would have caused blistering or melting if less than combustion or charring. Is it only superficial, like can it be washed off?
Possibly scrapings or small samples may be obtained and sent to a lab for analysis looking for reactive components resulting from strong acids or basic reaction, lye. Any metallic components dissolved into solution, like lead, iron, or aluminum from pigments or metallic surfaces would appear in the scrapings from any chemical reaction.
Looks like painted (trim), vinyl (trim), or aluminum surfaces were affected.
