Default Repainting my C7 convertible

My C7 Black convertible is getting oxidation areas all over. The Chevrolet dealers say it is out of warranty for paint but they don't have the time or want to repaint the entire car. I have gone to 7 paint/restoration shops. All said , including the dealer, that the car should not have this much damage to the paint after 6 years. 5 shops would not work on the Corvette. Two will do it but their reviews although mostly good still make me think I should have a recommendation from someone in Las Vegas who has a place they can recommend. Can anyone give me a suggestion?

This Help section is for Help with the CorvetteForum website (account issues, etc.,) and is not the place to post technical questions about Corvettes. Instead, please find the correct section, based on the generation of the Corvette.

Go back to the main forum page:
https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums/

Now start to slowly scroll down until you see the generation of your Corvette. C7 Corvette, 2014 - 2019 section:
