Rolled My Fenders

Finally rolled my rear fenders, never thought I would try doing it the way I did. Could not find some one local I felt comfertable with and wanted to do myself so I was going to rent a roller. Instead I ended up using a polyurathane hammer and heat gun. Spent about an hour per wheel till I was satisfied it was the best I could do without pushing my luck. I'm sure it's not as smooth as a roller, but no cracking paint, no rubbing, and looks fine. Before and after pics., not so good.

    yah a roller can get the lip straight up flat against the panel but you risk an outward dent. Good work either way.

    Running 17x9.5, +30 offset, that's why I had to roll.

    I used to service porches many years ago. we used baseball bat to roll fenders. one drives car (very slowly) while the other rolls the bat between wheel and fender. works very well.
