Fender Rolling

[scrapyrs]

Hey, just wondering if it is better to get the fenders rolled or to get them cut. I also hear you can rent a fender roller from someone in Calgary, anyone know where?

Thanks

so does that mean that u guys make custom fenders.. can u make fender flares?

[ZorroAMG]

No the fender roller simply rolls the lip on the factory fender to help clear wheels that are wider or if the suspension is dropped...turns fenders from |_ to |/ in a crude drawing kinda way LOL

I am scared to lower my car because I dont want the paint to crack or to rust prematurely.

Has anyone experienced or heard of this yet?

paint has a certain amount of flex to it, thats how paintless dent removal works so well, and you shouldn't be scared to lower your car because the paint will crack, that has nothing to do with the paint, are you talking about rolling your fenders and haveing your paint crack or lowering your car and having your paint crack.

rolling your fenders works well with a wooden bat. do not use Aluminum!!! if you are worried about paint cracking take your time and use a heat gun to warm the paint/metal to make it easier. I can't stress taking your time enough. the paint can crack easily if you try to bash the fender or try to bend it flush in one step. take a bunch of rolls per fender!

The previous owner of my vehicle had rolled the fenders. I just noticed some pretty heavy duty cracking of the paint and I was told it was most likely due to this.

I don't know what method was used but next time I go to the dealership I'll ask him.

rolling painted fenders will result in cracked paint no matter what, even minute ones, properly rolled fenders shuold be done prior to a paint job

No I am talking about rolling the fenders and having the paint crack. It was new paint just last summer so I am a bit concerned. I am hopinh that the new wheels I get will have a high enough offset that I will not have to roll the fenders.

I had my fenders shaved instead. Was too afraid of cracking paint.
