Fender Rolling

[RAMSES EP3]

How much should I pay to get my fenders rolled? And is there any good places that you guys know of here in socal.

[cow]

Don't pay more than $50. I had mine rolled last weekend & it took about 30 minutes per fender while shooting the shit with friends.

You should consider renting a machine (costs about $100) & get together with a few friends who need it done & make a day of it.

x2!


simple to do, and if you get the guys together its costs near nothing. IF you want, you could also use the bat technique. cheap, effective, takes a little longer to do. either way, good luck and lets see some pics when done

also interested in this, where do you rent from?

[cow]

I just PM'd my friend to ask from where he rented the machine. Stay tuned.

[antisocial]

you can buy a fender rolling tool from tire rack for a couple hundy. or man up, get a baseball bat, and do it yourself

I was looking at getting mine done this summer but can't find a place near me.

[Zeth]

how hard is it to do baseball bat style????

[shadowmd]

not hard lol

[v1c10us]

we did my friends, probably did it the wrong way
but we took tin snips and cut the inside of the fender every 3 inches and then just folded it over.

There is this body shop close to my work he said that he would do it for a hundred for both rears do you think I should go for it? He said that it will take him like an hour and a half. I dont think that there is any place close to me that will rent me the machine to do it. I live to far form any place that i think would rent me one (Victorville) and dont want to drive that far cause my rears rub if i bounce to hard and i dont want my tires to get messed up. And I Need to get an alignment afterwards. what should i do?

I've seen people chip paint with a bat.

I rented the tool for $85 on ebay. Shipping was included.

[civictype_r04]

I area1320.com said that they will do the rears for $25.00 each. If your a member on tristatetuners.com.

That guy had a really good idea...rent it four times and make your money back for the roller. I may actually rent it.

One's paint can & probably will chip with a roller if not done properly. The key to avoiding chipped paint, regardless of method chosen, is heating the area so the paint & metal is more malleable.

sweet, congrats. how'd you do it?

[Zeth]

so i can use a bat instead of a fender roller, any suggestions on what i can use instead of a heat gun? (i dont have one)

[cow]

I would HIGHLY reccomend against doing it without the proper accoutrements. I'd hate to see the, "Hey guys I fuct my paint" thread.

I posted this link before the crash. Here's another place to buy a roller from:
