I'm looking to get my fenders rolled but the whole car was just painted..how long do i have to wait until i get my fenders rolled to prevent paint chipping

 

i would ask a real painter. information on this website has been getting less and less reliable since 16 year olds are buying 03s even faster now and using their experience with a rattle can.. >.<

 

Oh i see..someone suggested a week to a month to let the paint cure, so im just gona wait a month to play it safe

 

No offense, but why didn't you roll them before painting it?

 

I had my fenders rolled a few weeks ago and the paint chipped like mad. That was after about 2.5 years of the paint curing on my 2006 Z haha. Hopefully your new paint job is better than nissan's paint system. Might want to let it cure more than 30 days. I know you're supposed to wait 90 days before waxing/polishing new paint, so maybe wait at least that long for fender rolling. I really don't know.

 

didnt roll it before painting because i wasn't really planning on changing my rear tire set-up..im just gona wait 3-4 months just to be safe..and it sucks how they use water-based paint now..it cracks a lot easier than the acrylic paint they used before

This sux bro! I have an 06 and I'm planning on rolling my rears. Now that you made this comment it has me worried. Did you have to repaint the affected sections of your Z? and how much did it cost you?

 

Just make sure the paint is nice and warm ,thats all I have heard really affects the chipping.

 

f*ck i want to run my 295/30/19 set-up so bad but dotn want to risk chipping the paint off the fenders..i dotn mind a lilttle chipping just as long as its not visible
