Today on Donut, Tristan and the team are taking on the challenge of painting the uncapped F FRS, a task that could cost a fortune if left to the professionals. Determined to achieve a professional finish at a fraction of the cost, they dive into the world of DIY car painting, emphasizing the crucial role of meticulous preparation in achieving a flawless paint job. While reflecting on the differences between wraps and paint, Tristan sets out to tackle the bodywork required for this project, highlighting the limitations of wraps when it comes to long-term durability and finish quality.
Equipped with a $400 Amazon paint booth and an array of supplies including Bondo, glaze, and fiberglass, the team embarks on the extensive process of prepping the car for painting. From removing car parts to taking out the glass, every step is meticulously executed to ensure a smooth canvas for the upcoming paint job. As they encounter challenges like cracked windshields and unexpected leaks from a budget paint gun, the team's determination and resourcefulness shine through, showcasing their unwavering commitment to the project.
Amidst setbacks and surprises, Tristan and the crew press on, demonstrating resilience and teamwork in the face of adversity. With the inflatable paint booth set up and the 2.5 tip gun in hand, they make a second attempt at painting, overcoming obstacles with a mix of skill and camaraderie. As the project progresses, from fixing cracks in the body kit to addressing ventilation issues in the paint booth, the team's passion for cars and DIY craftsmanship shines brightly, setting the stage for a remarkable transformation of the uncapped F FRS.
