me boy was sayin he saw a thread on how to roll your own fenders on our G's, i was just wondering if its a good idea or shood get it done professionally

 

Do you have something to roll it with? Its pretty easy just make sure you use a heat gun to soften it up otherwise you will crack your paint

 

You could do it the ghetto way, but your going to risk chipping/cracking paint. I did a light roll with a pvc pipe wrapped in rubber and a blow dryer. It's possible, but not recommended.

 

if you have never done it, better have someone do it or you gonna mess up your fenders.

 

Try it, come back with the results.


If you dont car much about how it turns out then go for it, if you want a nice SMOOTH roll then get it done. I cant tell you how many people have "tried" to roll their fender then come to me with their fender all effed up lol.

 

thanks guys ya i was for gettin it professinally done but i was just seeing if i cood save a few bucks but its not worth risking crackin or chippin the G

 

^Theres still a chance of paint cracking, even if you take all proper precautions. Also alot depends on the quaility of your paint, how well you maintain it. Paint gets brittle over time. Your risk of cracking is far less though than simply doing it with a bat/pvc/bar/etc

 

I've heard some horror stories for DIYers trying to use baseball bats to roll fenders,
IMO just pay to get it done right and dont chance spending a whole lot more money to save a couple bucks

 

Take it to Shane if you're in socal.

 

i live in Massachusettes -_-

 

If u know what you're doing go for it Broseph (you see what I did there... I combined Bro with Joseph)

 

^ hahaha but seriously if you have to ask then you should know the answer NO!

 

ahah i know a guy who didnt bother rolling his fenders, he decided to just let his tires rub against them and push them up itself... they were pretty far last time i saw, but he really ****ed up his G... i fell bad for gs with careless owners..

 

i bought eastwood roller and mine came out great. this thing takes timeeeeeeeee

 

diy is your best bet,if you messed it up atleast you did it..I won't pay somebody to crack my paint or do a ****ty roll, I'll do it myself.you will also learn yourself along the way so next time you'll know how to do it..you'll save some money as well.
