2016 Ford Explorer sport paint bubbling at lip of hood in several spots. If it is fixed right and hood repainted will this happen again?

If the problem is a manufacturer defect,the warranty will cover it.If caused by stone chips,you need to fix it at your own expense.If the paint isn’t that bad,get a touch-up pen and fix it yourself. You can get a paint protection film applied on the entire surface of the hood if you are worried about stone chips.
