Anybody recommended for rolling fenders?

I've tried myself with a 2"x4" but didn't come out quite like I'd hoped. I'm willing to get it done by a "pro" now. Any suggestions on places to take it locally? Or does anyone have any experience doing it that might to lend a hand?


PS - I saw the JDM "stick-a-pipe-and-drive" technique and think I'd rather use the machine they have available with the wheel.

Eastbear FTW.. also tirerack.com sales them

Eastbear? Is that a local shop or a website to rent the rolling device from?

It is one of the popular brands.

I am going to be one from tirerack in the somewhat future hopefully

Gotcha. That tirerack.com one is much cheaper than I thought they would be. I might have to pick one up for the heck of it. If you get one before I do, let me know.

get a wooden baseball bat. stick inbetween the fender and the tire and then roll the car/truck forward. it worked great on my old mustang and my new frontier. another way to do it for stubborn lips, it to take an air saw, grinder with a cut off wheel, or anything you feel comfortable cutting metal with, and make small cuts every inch or so and then you can either hammer the cut peices flat orrrrr oyu can do the wooden baseball bat thing again.

2x4 wow. use either bat or pipe and don't forget to use heat gun/hair dryer on area rolling so the paint doesn't crack as bad
