I'll have to take it to or send it to someone who specializes in that but this sh** town is scant on finding competent people to do skilled work for you...

I Agree...
I use to detail sleds for family and friends but it's been a while and this has me scratching my head...

Ive seen this before - It came from under the paint. There was flash / surface rusting that wasnt visable yet then as it matured, it came thru the paint. I had this on a silver 70 Road Runner (back in mid 80s) and I had a brand new 90s Z28 that was repaired under warranty..

In the middle 90's there is a GM dealer I was a mechanic for.
The body shop there was repainting vehicles or parts of that were described as stained under warranty.
It was bleeding through from under neath the paint.
Hope that not the case with your paint

So what can be done about it?

The delamination of GM vehicles was mainly clear coat problems ... OP states this is happening to the plastic side covers ... No rust bleed through there ... FWIW I'd stop by a local body / paint shop for an opinion ... Good luck

I bought a 88 1/2 ton pick up and used a blow gun and blew large pieces of paint off of it
Stripped the rest and sanded and got the body shop to do the paint.
Decided I didn't want to do another one lol
Being it's a plastic part I'll bet your right

It was a 94 Z28 in bright red. The hood, right front fender and left rear quarter got stained. This was about late 95. They had to 'repaint' the entire car. Initially they thought they would spot paint the car - I called GM 800 number, a factory rep came and took the car from the dealer to a prefered paint shop. They did a great job. There were about 8 or so red Camaros with the same issue at the same time... That red, there were a lot of issues with it. It would peel, fade very quick and the rust thru issue... The issue on mine started with 2000 miles on a garage queen...
