Fender rolling

[rayray086]

Cheers guys UpGarage does it for $40/guard. I'll probably stick with them and get it done when their next shipment of wheels come in.

$130?! That's nuts. I was talking to the guy at UpGarage and he said he got his for $600.

mates at work rolled their own cars with a chair leg or rolling thing that u use to flat out the pizza bases..

works aswell just need to heat it up and rolls easily..

they also lower their cars with angle grinders..

Yeah the good quality ones cost that much but the repco ones work well and can be used over and over again!!!

Does some one have a picture of this? I'd like to see the effect. The fender rolling business...

I'll take a pic soon. I'm currently cutting the rears, but the fronts were rolled nicely.

to roll your guards using a proper guard roller will save you from cracking your paint, warping your guards and doing any unnecessary damage to your paint and guards in general.

you should have a heat gun to heat your paint up when you do this, use a proper g-roller when you do and heat the paint up then start rolling. then adjust and do the same steps again, and continue there until you have the rolled effect you want.

IF you have done it correctly you could almost pinch it properly and have not cracked any paint what so ever. If you haven't you will find flaking paint and cracks (is advised you sand it off and repaint it with same colour touchup paint by paintbrush or black paint if not visible on outter body)

(i've done enough, and yes have experience with it.... trust me! do it right!)

most wheel places will do it for $30-80ea guard these days, make sure they use a heat gun and not rushed but!

hope that sheds more light, and top effort who made their own!
