i found some shops that have those gadgets to roll fenders but for 50 bucks per fender. soo im thinkin bout usin that bat trick i been hearing about...but i dont have a heat gun to keep the paint from cracking...is there any replacement i could use instead of that in example, a hair dryer?? will that work just as good?? or what?? thanks

 

a hair drier doesnt even come close to making the same ammount of heat that a heat gun would. you can just rent a heat gun from home depot for like 30 a day.

LOL... rent = refund.

 

I'v rolled fenders with a pool que. Worked allright. There's no substitute for a real fender roller though. They do a mutch better job.

 

Fender roller? Is that for dented fenders? Never heard of these...

 

WORD OF ADVICE YOU ROLL THE FENDERS CHANCES ARE YOU expletive THE FENDERS UP. JUST SPEND YOUR MONEY THE RIGHT WAY THE FIRST TIME.

 

Its like a roller boll which rolls the innder plastic to the inside of the fender, thus creating a bigger clearance between the tyre and fender.

 

is using a heat gun really neccessary?? is there a big chance of cracking the paint and causing rust??

 

you can pull the fronts, but the backs are a different story

paint WILL crack if not heated with heat gun. don't say you were not forwarned.

 

My neighbour rolled one (rears) and it got all fucked, he just cut the lip right off the second one and said it was easy, quick, and effective.

anyone else do this?

 

soo the fronts i could just roll out with a bat and no heat gun since im just bringing it outwards?? im thinking just doing the fronts myself and the rears for the professionals

 

is it possible to roll the front fenders out a inch?? this shop with a fender roller said that its not possible...is this true?? cause my front left wheel sticks out half an inch for some reason...maybe cause i got hit on that side before iono...but is it possible??

 

yea i was gonna say, to the person who said it before, jsut do it the right way the first time, and go to some shop and rent one for a day its as simple as that.

 

Oh Man I want one of those now!!!

I had to pull my fronts out a bit because my tires stuck out some. Just yank on them and they will pull out

 

what shops do fender rolling?

 

shop around man, u can probably find a shop that will do it for cheaper

 

I did a search on this, and learned rolling the fender can cause dirt and moisture to build up on the inside where it was rolled.

I was wondering if you sprayed the inside of the fender with undercoat wouldn't that fix the corrosion problem?

That's a good idea. You can also though a thick oil or chain grease in there ever so often to help repel water off the metal/paint.
