Fender Rolling

Anyone have experience in this or know a recommended shop to go to for this?

How much does it normally cost?

Thanks in advance!

the guy i got my wheels from did it for free in like 20 minutes with a metal pipe. i just cleaned it and used touch up paint where the paint cracked a little and havent had any problems and you cant see it. you only need paint there to protect from rust

the paint cracking is the only thing that keeps me from doing it, but i guess its still a risk if i have someone else do it.

edit......lots of good diy's out there, i'll let you guys know how it goes

My paint cracked, but it's not noticeable. I still rub a bit when I drop the suspension extra low, but only going over big dips.

Just did the fender rolling half an hour ago with a 1.5" PVC pipe (in hindsight I would have used a 2") and a hair dryer.

Not completely flush, but it worked out pretty well. I shouldn't be rubbing unless I'm carrying a really heavy load.

I don't think there was any cracking. I'll check for sure in the morning.

Took less than 30 minutes for two fenders by myself. Probably one of the easiest DIY to do.
