Default Fender Shaving

So I picked up an LS430 and although I'm not new to fender rolling or shaving, I was searching for a video to help show what I will be doing in the coming months. I found this video and thought it might be helpful. The guys doing the shaving didn't so a great job but its something to learn from.

Yep need a professional to do it. I attempted to roll the front fenders which in return resulted in bacon fenders as a good friend used to say..

Take it to a professional shop and have them shave it off, sand it and close with paint so that it doesn't brittle out on the edge and then look like someone took a chainsaw to your fender lip.
I don't know of a place in New York, but if you're ever in Cali, might be able to be of assistance.

In NYC, there isn't many places that can do what I need done. Folks like me and LiCelsior are left to do it on our own or go to someone we barely trust. I have clean virgin fenders so I'd rather looks until I can find a spot.
