is there any cheap way of rolling and rolling fenders??? i know i can roll them with a bat or pvc pipe, but never tried pulling fenders.

do the rear fenders have a lip to roll?? or just the fronts?

both front and rear have that lip to roll

fronts are smaller tho

you can pull it with the bat/pipe. roll it first with the pipe and then start pushing down on the pipe and roll it.. careful when doing the fronts..

however.. i'd suggest just doing it right the first time. haha.

and how much does doing it right cost me??? or would a body shop, just use a fender roller to pull the fenders???

The Do It Yourself method will be the easiest, but it will take some time. If you can get a heat gun to help soften things up. It took me about 2 hours for both the rears, I just bent the taps on the front and I was set.

There is only 1 shop that would do fender rolling here and they wanted to charge 75 per fender..... lol that's why I did it myself.

Good point on heating the paint up otherwise it'll crack.

+1 Thats what i would do. You could just rent a fender roller at a autopart store.

buy a used eastwood fender roller, use it, sell it.

no loss there. and do a couple peoples fender while youre at it.
