Fender rolling in the portland area?

New wheels are on the way and there is a slight chance I might rub a bit. I know many shops dont like rolling fenders. I'm not sure if its because of the risk involved or what, but so far i haven't had any luck finding someone who can or is willing to do it. Anyone in the area had a shop do this? I dont wanna do it myself with a bat and a heat gun.

I know I can rent the real deal but I dont want to do it myself, this is out of my comfort zone. I think I'd vomit if I chipped the paint.

Well my roomate has a very nice BD legacy that he took to Rallitek for fender rolling and they used a bat and a heat gun . They actually did a decent job and from what I heard are a farily reputable shop. Like I said I wouldn't do it myself even with the proper equipment, was a little bit of sarcaism

We have a fender roller here. Price really depends on how much needs to be rolled. If anything just give me a call and we can chat and see what needs to be done.

Did his on my 9.. it's really not that scary, just make sure you heat up the paint enough for it not to chip but make sure the gun isnt to close to burn it =o

chances are you will only have to do the rear's, I had 9.5" all around and that's all I had to do with swift springs.
