Best way to Roll Your Fender on SC300 and Price
I am putting 9.5" rims on my car and think I might need to have my fenders rolled.
I saw that several of you guy have had this done. I did a search and saw that I could rent the machine to do this. How much does it typically cost to have someone else do this?
Thanks!

It's really easy...
You don't need a fender roller to do it.
All you need is a propane torch and a large hammer with a rag over it.
You can do it this way with out cracking the paint at all if you are careful. It's much faster than using a roller, I've done many cars both with and with out a roller. If you have a ****ty paint job the paint will crack doing it either way.
Use the torch to heat the paint up to prevent cracking, then tap the fender lip with the hammer. Easy as that.

You can use a heatgun and a rubber mallet

Well acutually the bat and hammer together. There is more of a risk in ruining the paint, when using a torch especially if the person has never done it before.

Well either way the paint should be kept at a constant temp.
