    Default SZ Fender Rolling

    I need to roll my fenders and I'm thinking about buying one for 250 instead of spending 100 just to rent one.

    Would anyone be interested in paying a couple bucks (say $20) to use it during SZ?

    Make my purchase a little easier decision.

    You can... i'm debating the using PVC route. Much cheaper. We'll see what I can talk myself into.

    The trick to paint safety is a heat gun, although you might still get some cracking regardless.. depends on your paint.

    Yeah, I tried rolling mine on my 96 with a baseball bat and the paint started to chip off. I stopped after that. Barge is right, it probably depends on the condition of your paint.

    A hot day with a heat gun is ideal. I rolled mine last year in Dallas on a 90 degree day and it the paint was completely unharmed.

    Rolling it slowly and gradually also helps.

    Did you use a purpose fender roller? or just a bat or PVC?

    We rented a purpose fender roller and split the cost. I paid $10 to roll.
