So I'm trying to help a friend w/ rolling his fender. I have an Eastwood fender roller, I've heard that if you do it wrong it could cause dimples. How do I prevent the dimples? Is there a correct way to do it? Any help and suggestions would be great. I've done a search, but really couldn't find anything.....thanks in advance!

Sorry forgot to mention the type of car: yes a 2nd Gen GS300

Are you talking about rolling fenders on a GS? If so, the rears are difficult to roll without dimples, due to the double wall construction. I rolled my fronts without any difficulties on my GS, but I chose to shave the rears. I would recommend using a heat gun -or- hair dryer to heat-up the paint to reduce any potential for paint cracking when rolling the fronts.

When shaving the fenders, you need to bring it to the body shop and they do... what exactly?

yea Jun, those mount holes in the rear fender will cause dimples. a shave and a slight roll will give you the best result. i hope you have it when i come back to tha D'!!

WOW you could not find anything???



Search using key words like shave, roll, dimple etc.


There's a good thread on dimples on the first page of this section.

No need to continue this new thread on the same topic over and over.

There's plenty of good info on the other thread.

Check it out.

why not take out the screws, leave the plastic in there, then take a dremel and sand the peices down. This way there is no gap. Just a thought.

will the fronts cause dimples if i got them rolled and slightly pulleD?

sorry, yes its for a 2nd Gen GS300.....and we shaved the plastics where the screw goes. I guess shaving/cutting would be the best for the rear. And you guy's say the front is easier to just roll?

yeah, the rear will leave dimples if you try to roll them, on the 1st and 2nd gen gs, personally experience. --MIC.

depends how far you roll, my guy rolled mine pretty much just on the edge of the screw holes facing outwards of the arch and i got very minor dimpling like you cant really notice it at all. so theyre rolled about 1/2 - 3/4 flat with no big issues. shaving is easier if you can do it legally tho (i couldnt :P)
