Fender rolling party
 
I'm renting a fender roller, should be picking it up Wed and I'll have it through the weekend. Should anyone care to come by, I'll be working on both my cars on Saturday. No charge required, chip in if you feel like it. I'm going to be drinking Corona and enjoying the day off. Let me know if you'd like to join. (I live in Renton highlands area)

Would be interesting to learn how to do this. Might stop by. I'll let you know.

Bring a Heat gun or the paint will chip.

Got one! Thanks Lloyd!

Man i wish you weren't 4 hours away so that can i could partake

Well that was pretty easy! Did both cars. Mobile guy wanted 45 a corner, rented the roller for $20 a day. Money saved. Time for a beer.

did u run into any issues with your paint? I may need to do this on the rx8, and fd, and fc LOL

I had a heat gun, but ended up not using it. One car is due for new paint, and the other I don't really care, I like it's beat-up yellow over stock red looking all battle-scarred.

Yeah, it did chip the paint in a few places, but mostly right at the lip and unless you run your fingers there, it's not that bad. For a nice paint job, I would use the heat gun for sure.

where did you rent it from? my I need to roll my fenders soon!

Jhereg 08-07-13 09:30 AM

This guy charge $20 a day to rent. 253-324-5884. Don't pay the extra for the heat gun rental, if you don't have one I can loan you mine for free.

Bring the roller to the carnation meet.

Any before/after pics? I'd love to throw-in on the costs too if you're looking to do the same Ryan.

Its reasons like this I need to be over in Seattle. Gimme a month and i'll be joining y'alls.

Jhereg 08-13-13 10:50 PM

Hey that's not a bad idea. I'll call the guy and see if I can't grab it for the weekend. Can't tell much from before and after pics, but I'll tell ya this... I put on
brand spanking new rubber with the Hoshino's (14" 10 offset) and with the racing beat springs looked good, but taking a corner I was pelted with what I thought
was black silly string. Cut a deep groove in the tire. After rolling I have yet to have it rub. Discount Tire replaced the tire for me for free. Made a huge difference.

-Got an answer already, it's available. I'll see if I can't meet him Friday and pick it up. I'll bring my heat gun as well as a bunch of parts I have for sale/trade.

Picked up a 3pc spoiler, so I now have a 1pc for sale
