Paint deteriorating from inside?
Hello, I have a 2017 Black Stingray and I’m finding specks in the paint that shimmer but it’s not flakes. It kinda looks like oil on water looking. Is there anyone that has had the dealer repaint their vehicle? What are my options? It’s only getting worse btw.

First option is to contact the dealer to get their input on the issue.

You are right - the paint should not look like that. Let the dealer take a look and suggest a course of repair. Some dealership body shops are pretty good and can be trusted with your car. Some are not so good. If it comes to a repaint, do your homework and see examples of their work. Also, maybe contact a local Corvette Club in your area (if there is one) and get their opinion on how good the dealership is or who they would recommend.

The second thread is where the repaint is being done by the dealer with a few pics.
