Question Fender rolling interest?

I'm considering purchasing a fender roller as well as a heat gun to roll my fenders. For those less informed that is to say that I want to bend up the lip where the tires go so as to prevent rubbing.

I also would like to rent the fender roller out to the community as well as the heat gun (for a small fee of course). But before I buy one I would like to gauge some interest..

Is this something I can get a few people in on?

I was actually talking about sending it out, not so much a local deal as it would be a nationwide deal. so everyone can get a piece =D

You guys do realize that you can get someone from a bodyshop to do it for about $50 for a little after hours work?

Best thing to do is to drive to a few paint/repair shops. If you call, you'll most likely get a manager who is going to tell you they won't do it. Go to a shop and talk to one of the workers. They'll get you set up.

The guy who rolled mine was going to do it for $20, but I gave him $40 in hopes he would "help me out" when its time to repaint my car.

It's usually one of those tedious jobs that they don't waste their time/money with...

I never got the car repainted to see if it helped.
