So im tired of rubbing my rear wheels on my fender. I want to cut my fenders myself and ive heard its a pretty easy job. So guys what are the exact procedures and tools needed to do this job? Just take a dremel to it?

 

I dont suggest that you do this if you have never done it before. Its not a hard or long process but have a local member help or pay a shop to do it.

Rolling VS Cutting

 

theres always a first time for everything!

 

tape the outside fender well/quarter panel as a precaution then cut or roll the lip.... Good luck.

 

Yea ive read that thread before. I just wanted someone thats done it have some kinda procedure or tips for me. I mean do you just take off the wheel and go to town on the fender with a dremel? Do you have to heat it up or anything? Thanks for any input guys.

 

Heating is recommended even though i didn't do it...

 

If you are cutting it, no need for heat gun. Heat gun is when you roll the fender. It helps avoid paint from cracking but still 90% chance that the paint will crack.... The reason you would want to take the wheel off is just so that you have room to work on it. If you are comfortable cutting it without taking the wheels off then by all means go for it.

 

If you're Viet and you do nails, this will be cake

 

Why am I repeating myself? LOL use these and you will fine.

And used a cutting wheel like this:


Then sanded smooth with this:


And finished off with rust enamel in flat black like this:

 

Cutting wont chip the paint?? I took mine to get it cut to a tire shop. They put tape on it and so, when they where done I went to inspect, and the paint was chipped!! It was from the inside though. It has now gotten to being almost visible.
