VA Fender Lip Roller Tool Northern VA Area?

Looking to rent the tool locally in the area! Anyone has one or know anyone that might? I am not looking for a shop, just the tool!

Thanks...

My friend has one if you want to borrow it. He might charge you a few dollars for it though.

Once you get the tool , get a heat gun and a thermometer. Take your time and you wont crack the paint.

Please read this first Vlad .
Correct temperature of 125-140 degrees

If you do that by "feel" your mitts are going to be extra crispy.
