Default Where to get fenders rolled in LA/OC

Can you guys recommend a shop in the LA / OC area that can roll my rear fenders?

Also, where can I take my Greddy spoiler for paint work?

Thanks!

Hey Jason,

If you are ready to pay, I think Sprewell Racing in San Gabriel has the right machine to do the right job. However, I don't know if they will do it if you don't get the wheels from them. Even if they do, it could be costly.

For paint job, you can try EuroTech in Bellflower located on Artesia Blvd. The owner's name is Kevin and they do great job. However, they don't do aftermarket stuff that involve with installation. If you just want to have them paint it, they might do the job.

Of course, there is always ABC body shop. Lonely Toothbrush will take care of you, right Eric?

It's actually better to trim rear fenders, as when you roll them there is a good chance the paint will start to crack. Plus you get a lot more clearance and it comes out a lot cleaner. Gotta be sure that whoever does it is good though, or it'll look like an angry beaver got to your car!

The fronts normally need to be rolled (if you even have problems there, but you need a pretty expensive tool to do it). We do have the roller, but I think you only need the lip to be trimmed.

Sprewell Racing charges $40 per fender. I asked one of the workers at the front desk, if they use a fender rolling tool, and the only answer he kept giving me (with an attitude) was that they do it by hand (whatever that means )

Can't you roll it by yourself ??? All you need is a thick pipe and a fat chick to sit in your trunk, then roll it slowly !!

heehee....

This actually works

Instead of roll the wheelwells, I suggest to trim them. It comes out cleaner

The Wheel Supply does great work. Many consider the mechanic there the best in california. But then again, many others have never heard of them. I guess being "the best" is kind of subjective.

anyway...contact info at www.thewheelsupply.com
its off the 60
talk to Sander...he will take care of you but hes a busy guy
and tell him Ronald with the white SC said hello
