Automotive Restoration
WRG Paint & Body delivers full-service automotive restoration in Charlotte, NC. We handle structural, mechanical, and cosmetic repairs to return your vehicle to pristine condition—ideal for classic cars and specialty restorations.
Restoring a vehicle is more than a repair—it’s a resurrection. At WRG Paint & Body, we bring vintage and classic vehicles back to life with a dedication to detail and craftsmanship that few shops can match. Whether you’re reviving a muscle car from the ’60s or bringing new life to a mid-century import, our Charlotte-based team approaches every restoration as a custom project with historical respect and technical precision. From bare metal to final clear coat, every part of your car receives focused, expert attention. Our full-service process covers structure, powertrain, body, and interior, providing a complete transformation that preserves the soul of your vehicle while restoring its functionality, safety, and style.
A True Frame-Off Restoration Experience
Our restoration services begin with a full teardown and evaluation of the entire vehicle. For projects that require it, we offer complete frame-off restorations—where every component is removed, inspected, refurbished, or replaced. This method ensures no detail is overlooked. The frame is sandblasted, repaired, or reinforced if needed, while the chassis is refinished to OEM standards or customized to the owner’s vision. All moving parts, including suspension, steering, and drivetrain systems, are rebuilt or replaced. This depth of restoration not only guarantees a visually stunning outcome, but also improves the vehicle’s integrity and roadworthiness for years to come. It’s our most comprehensive service, and one we perform with pride for vehicles that deserve to be perfect from the inside out.
Mechanical Systems Reimagined
Behind every beautifully restored vehicle is a strong mechanical foundation. WRG Paint & Body doesn’t stop at appearances—we ensure your vehicle performs as good as it looks. Our mechanical restoration includes engine rebuilding, transmission service, cooling system updates, brake upgrades, and more. Whether you’re keeping original specifications for a collector’s piece or adding modern improvements for driveability, our technicians build performance into every detail. We use OEM parts when possible, but also offer performance components and custom setups where desired. Each system is tested, fine-tuned, and verified for reliability, delivering a classic car that drives like a dream and stops on a dime. When you turn the key, we want the response to be every bit as impressive as the finish.
Factory-Quality Body and Paint Work
Restoration isn’t complete without flawless bodywork and authentic paint. Our team is trained in traditional and modern body repair techniques, capable of recreating classic contours and seamless panel integration. We repair rust, realign panels, fabricate missing elements, and prepare each surface with care. When it’s time to paint, we match original color codes or help you select a custom shade, applying it in a controlled spray booth to ensure even coverage and a flawless finish. From primer to final polish, we use top-tier materials to ensure depth, clarity, and long-term durability. If your vehicle once dazzled crowds in showroom condition, we aim to bring that magic back—and exceed expectations with today’s tools and talent.
Custom Interiors That Honor the Past
Restoring the interior of a vehicle requires a delicate blend of tradition and creativity. WRG Paint & Body offers complete interior refurbishment, including upholstery, dash panels, carpeting, headliners, and hardware. We match original fabrics and patterns where authenticity is key, or collaborate with owners on modern interpretations that offer more comfort, style, or functionality. From original bench seats to sport-style bucket conversions, each detail is measured and finished to perfection. Whether you want to sit in a time capsule or craft a new atmosphere inside a classic shell, our interior team delivers results that feel as refined as they look. We also offer vintage audio upgrades and modern conveniences discreetly integrated into period-correct setups.
