04 models have same paint issues?
I read a post saying that their cars paint is chipping near the door where the dirt hits it. Did Mitsubishi fix it for the 04 models?

Yes, 04's should have a piece of clear bra installed that should keep it from happening.

Here is a post showing the install of the pieces on an 03, should show you where to look on your RS for them:

Of course since your car is an RS maybe they left them off for weight savings

Hm...It turns out is there, even on the early '04s (build date 3/04). I have no idea how I could have detailed so many times and never noticed it.

they need to start doing double stage, instead of single stage painting job. It's crap.
