Default Fender Roller in NoVA

I saw another shop doing this down south so I thought that it might be beneficial to us up here.

I was thinking about investing in a really nice fender roller for the shop and offering it out for rent. I'm trying to get a feel for how many people would be interested.

I guess it would be like $60 to rent. The roller, heat gun, etc. Or I could roll them for you for not much more.

Anyways, Let me know people.

I do it all the time at our shop. I wasn't trying to be an ass either by the way, I just want to make that clear now. They don't mind as long as the finished product looks good and we do a clean job. And yes, we do high dollar Euro and Japanese cars all the time.

I usually agree but if you have any experience rolling fenders, and all you are doing is rolling (read NOT PULLING) Use a hammer with a rag over it and a small propane torch (heat guns don't get hot enough).

The roller takes 10 times as long as does the same job. If the paint is going to crack with a hammer it will crack with a roller, I've done enough fenders to know this.

The only time i use a "fender roller" is when I'm actually pulling fenders (widening the metal, not just rolling the lip flat).

a baseball bat will never get the lip flat enough if clearance is an issue.

if you use a baseball bat you might as well use a hammer it's easier and faster. food for thought.
