fender roller rental
 

is there anyone on here who have a fender roller i can rent for a day or 2 ??
thank you

use a baseball bat

hm... is fender rolling hard? is it something u can diy?

^yes its something you can diy

key is to take your time and do a little bit at a time

yes, you can DIY. but to do it cleanly and by minimizing the damage on your fender/paint, that takes patience and experience/skill. renting a fender roller makes things a helluva lot easier. the ad that was posted is hella cheap for renting such an expensive piece of equipment, totally worth it.

On that note, anybody know a place that is experienced with fender rolling? I need mine done.

any one know how much it costs to get it professionally done? im worried that il fuck up the paint. also is it possible to stretch the fenders out at the same time?

^yep, called pulling the fenders. so you want a pull+roll

sigh. i wish keep labs was still around...

loong time ago being the stupid noob i tried doing to baseball bat method using internet info... ended up having to spend mad $$$ to fix my mess afterwards by a bodyshop :cry:

about 50 bucks a corner to get it professionally done.

you won't fuck up the paint if you do it yourself as long as you arent....an idiot.

use a heatgun generously. If your'e going to pull, dimpling the fender is a bigger worry than cracking the metal.

let's see the car/suspension setup, along with your wheel specs.

what he said... and if the clearcoat starts to go brown, take a hint and realize you've gone too far (which i didn't... :( )

Some cars (ie: Lexus SC400 and Supras) have really thick guage metal so rolling them is very difficult. Most other cars are pretty straight-forward. I know a guy that rented one off that exact Craigslist ad and the rentee was a super nice guy and the roller was top notch.

make sure you use a heat gun

quoted for truth.

respect.

I have a roller and have been doing Subaru rolls for about a year now. It's hard to do, definately an acquired skill that comes with experience. I use the roller pictured above, and it works well. Be sure to use a heat gun also though, as the paint on some cars cracks very easily. I usually add some touch up paint at the same time as the roll, so I can use the heat gun to ensure it dries quickly.

Good luck man.
