At WRG Paint & Body, our team has the expertise and passion to handle complete classic car restorations, whether you’re bringing back a muscle car, antique coupe, or vintage pickup. We approach every project with a deep respect for the vehicle’s history and a commitment to doing the job right. From rusted frames to faded paint, no challenge is too complex. If you want your classic to look, feel, and drive like it did decades ago—or even better—we’re the restoration team Charlotte drivers trust to deliver.

Authentic Bodywork and Panel Restoration

The foundation of any successful classic car restoration is solid, accurate bodywork. Our team begins by inspecting every inch of your vehicle for corrosion, dents, and damage that may have accumulated over years—or decades. We restore original panels when possible and fabricate replacements when necessary, always maintaining OEM specs and visual accuracy. Rust repair is handled with precision, using patching, welding, and anti-corrosive treatments to ensure long-lasting strength. Whether the car has been sitting for years or needs a cosmetic refresh, we bring it back to true form with body lines and curves that honor its original design.

Flawless Paint Restoration and Vintage Finishes

Paint is one of the most noticeable elements of any classic car—and we treat it like a centerpiece. WRG offers period-correct paint matching using vintage formulas and factory color codes. We can also help you select a custom color scheme if you’re seeking a unique look. Our spray booths ensure flawless application in a dust-free, climate-controlled environment. We prep every surface with expert sanding and priming to ensure the paint lays smooth and adheres properly. Whether you’re aiming for a deep, reflective gloss or a classic matte tone, we deliver a finish that reflects your vehicle’s era and essence with precision.

Restoring the Interior to Its Original Glory

No classic car restoration is complete without a beautiful, comfortable interior. Our restoration team specializes in rebuilding dashboards, reupholstering seats, installing new carpeting, and refinishing interior trim. We can source period-accurate materials or use modern upgrades that maintain the vintage aesthetic while improving comfort and durability. From instrument panel repairs to sound deadening and weather stripping, we ensure the cabin feels as new as the exterior. Every stitch and surface is treated with care so the interior becomes a space you enjoy as much as the drive itself.

Mechanical Rebuilds with Modern Precision

Beyond the looks, a classic car has to run right. We offer full mechanical restoration including engine rebuilding, transmission repair, brake upgrades, suspension replacements, and more. Whether you want to maintain original specs or incorporate modern performance upgrades, our shop handles everything in-house. We tune engines to perform reliably and align drivetrains for smooth, powerful performance. We also rebuild steering, cooling, and exhaust systems to ensure safety and satisfaction behind the wheel. WRG builds restorations you can drive—not just display.

Custom Restorations for Unique Visions

Some classic car owners want more than a return to original—they want to take their vision even further. At WRG, we welcome customization projects that reflect your personal style. Want to upgrade the stereo with Bluetooth? Add LED lighting or change the trim? Swap in a more powerful engine or performance brakes? We’ve done it all. Our team works with you from planning to completion, ensuring every upgrade respects the spirit of your vehicle while delivering modern performance and convenience. You don’t have to choose between classic and contemporary—you can have both with the right restoration team.

Your classic car has a story—and WRG Paint & Body is here to help you continue it. From rust removal to road-ready rebuilds, we restore vintage vehicles with craftsmanship, accuracy, and pride.
