Fender rolling

[GUTTERDUB]

I will be renting a fender roller here in the next couple months. Anyone looking to do theirs, they are more then welcome to it while I have it.

Re: Fender rolling

Depends on how careful you want to be... anywhere from 20mins to 1hr per fender. Typically you use an actual fender roller, but you can also use PVC pipe or a baseball bat along with a heat gun. Plenty of write ups online...



For the sake of your fenders, if you are doing a tighter V or pinch, seal the V with silicon or windshield glue... so you dont end up with rust bubbles and having to replace your fenders.

Tip:

Dont touch the rear. Thats why I repainted and pulled them completely.......

Re: Fender rolling

Also can be done with a heat gun and rubber mallet, but definitely take the time to properly heat it up so your paint doesnt crack.

I rolled the rear of the BMW in a couple hours and had never done it before.

How much work was the pulling? I'm getting 10" rear wheels, pretty sure I will need to pull them.

Otherwise I'm not real concerned with the paint seeing I'm getting a full respray when my body kit goes on.(ordered yesterday)

It was about a days worth of work for each just to get them roughed out then another week between the filler, sanding, primer and all that.

Do you know any auto body places in town that does pulling? Not sure I have the gumption or time to tackle that one myself.
