In this thrilling episode of Mat Armstrong, the team embarks on a daring mission to paint a Nissan GTR in a £300 paint booth right in the back garden. The car, a bargain from an auction due to crash damage, undergoes a dramatic transformation as the guys tackle the daunting task of rebuilding it within 24 hours. But before they can dive into the paint job, the neglected GTR receives a much-needed deep clean using ice blasters, revealing its true potential under layers of dirt accumulated over time.
With the car now sparkling clean, the team sets out to prep it for painting by meticulously removing various parts like side skirts and rear bumpers. Despite a few hiccups, such as breaking components during disassembly, they press on with determination. As they gear up to paint the car themselves in the garden, excitement fills the air. However, their ambitious DIY paint booth setup faces a formidable opponent in the form of unpredictable English weather, leading to a hilarious yet inevitable collapse of their grand plans.
Undeterred by the setback, the team pivots and decides to take the Nissan GTR to a professional body shop for the crucial painting phase. There, armed with newfound knowledge and a dash of enthusiasm, they dive into the intricate process of sanding, priming, and prepping the car for its vibrant new coat of paint. Despite their lack of experience, the team manages to navigate the challenges, applying epoxy primer and high build primer with a mix of caution and eagerness. As the GTR begins to take shape under their skilled hands, the journey to restore this once-damaged beauty reaches a thrilling climax, promising a stunning transformation worth every penny spent.
