Unfortunatly the location you have sucks big time. On the ede so your going to be getting into the door jamb area and on the rocker... meaning the qtr pannel will need clear coat too unless your spot painting.
If the paint has begun flaking and as large of an ammount as you have stated, then you are beyond the average touch up phase. You will likely need to get it to a bodyshop and have it properally taken care of before it spreads.
Any proper show will start by sanding the area of the flaking paint, feathering the edge and working as far OUTWARD from the chip as needed. This can be tricky to fix as you have no idea how far back the paint will go before it stops peeling. (Though a power washer will let you know fairly quickly :P) Based on the location aznd the color they should be able to easily hide the blend within the pannel and not need to blend the color into the door/front fender. BEing so low even if it is a slight mismatch one wouldn't know unless under the car, looking up.
If they were to paint over the flaking/peeling paint it would be a complete waste as painting over, paint with low surface tension will result in the new paint flaking.
