Default Fender roller rental in AZ?

AZ guys,

Is there any place in AZ where I can rent a fender roller. Wheels Specialists in Tempe have fender rolling service. I don't know the price though and I would like to do it myself.

SRD in Tempe has one that you can rent as long as you use it there. Ask for Chris and tell him Sean sent ya. He will take care of you.

So he won't let me bring that at home for at least 2 days?

You can purchase at Eastwood or tirerack, use it for the time you need, and resell it. You won't lose too much dough in the process.

Ensure you use a nice heatgun to preven paint cracking. I have one if you need it.

I just finished shaving mine. What a biotch!

Good point Shern. TireRack has them for $260. I can resell them for $200 at least. There's one on ebay going for $180.

WSI charges $75 per fender.

I got mine shaved and slightly rolled in and finished off with a primer and rhinoliner for $40 per fender from one of Travis' (beanTWNsc3) friends. I'm sure if you contacted Travis, he would help you hook up with this shop.

Travis's CL handle is "beanTWNsc3", you could PM him, he is also one of the ADMINs for http://www.lexaz.com as the same handle. The shop is on 7th Street/Dunlap but I can't remember the name of the place, plus Travis could make the contact for you to probably get a similar price to what I paid. I'm sure Phil @ the shop normally charges a little more. I will tell you though they turned out way better than I expected them to and the fenders are still rock solid. They are a custom car body shop that specializes in conversions and **** so they can do a clean fender shave blindfolded.

Do I sense some aggressive offsets in your near future?

I don't even know... I hope. I bought H&R spacers for front and rear and the bodyshop will install them and roll/pull all the fenders since I'm getting the car repainted. I might as well do that instead of the heat gun and fender roller job.

He said he's going to pull the fenders.. I have no idea how it will look like.
