Default FENDER shave SHOp

Well I had a body shop shave my fenders but I don't like the outcome of it. Its all messed up. Not a smooth job you can feel the unevenness of the fender.Now I want to go to a real fender rolling shop in S. CAL. to fix what the other shop messed up on. What shop do you guys recommend?

I have a fender rolling machine that I borrowed from a buddy..I will be rolling my fenders soon with the help of Mike (LEXKOST).

I was told by a body shop that if you take your time and do a portion at a time and heat the paint, that it will come out good without killing the paint or the metal piece..

I'll see how it goes..

I'm in SoCal BTW..

LS , have different wheelwells ( meaning inner well welded to outer fender and three pieces of sheetmetal together) grinding off will leave a opening (on a 2nd gen) .............On FLIPPU's 3rd gen. we will determine the best way and report back and maybe take some pics.
