| Restoring the frame and chassis of a Chevrolet Corvette to factory condition requires a lot of research and even more hard work. One of the most troubling obstacles you will encounter when completing frame & chassis restoration is sourcing correct paint and applying it in the right places. An all original, unrestored Corvette rolling chassis will exhibit 2-3 different variations of black paint. The reason for this is that parts for Corvettes came from many suppliers. Some of these suppliers painted their parts and not always with same paint that was used by GM on the frame or other components. With Mid America Motorworks' deep level of involvement in the Corvette market and understanding of what goes into high level collectible Corvette restorations, we wanted to eliminate the guess work in choosing your chassis restoration paint. Our Corvette Frame & Chassis Restoration Paints are of the highest quality for durability, color match and finish. Extensive research in each color, shade and gloss was completed to ensure your Corvette meets the highest judging criteria for original factory correct restoration.
