ABS round plastic PVC pipe from home depot + nerves of steel = fender rolling

dont forget to heat up the fender while your doing it even with a professional roller

Went to Marty at VIP Garage and he did a really good job. Took about an hour each corner (he went at it with a lot of patience), rolled it perfect. no dents, chips whatsoever. Saw sherwin's car too with the new gte swap, nice car bro, looks like it's on its way!

LOL @ the "Billy Bat" being used as a fender rolling tool. Where did you get one of those anyway? Have a cop in the family?


To the OP: Lexus fenders are very thick so props to him for not putting "nipples" in the fenders

I also need this done before my new wheels get here I was thinking to just roll the front and shave the rears a lil. I heard the rears are hard to roll and may cause paint chips and dimples in the panel. I have a dremel but i dont have a roller so i can bring the dremel if someone wants to rent a roller i would def be willing to meet up

for the sc, it can only be rolled up to a certain point and once you roll past that point there's a possibility it will dent or cause dimples on the panel. marty did not roll past that point due to his experience with sc's in the past.
