The episode documents the restoration of a Porsche 964, specifically the paint prep process. George, a 20+ year veteran of J&B, takes over from Frank and begins by removing the paint from the hood using a strong chemical stripper. The process is repeated multiple times to remove all the paint and reveal the metal underneath. George then sands the metal to smooth out any imperfections and applies a primer to prevent rust. The process is repeated for every panel of the car, taking around 3 weeks to complete. The episode ends with George applying a guide coat to the primer to check for any texture or sanding scratches, and preparing the car for the paint department.
